Ah here we go I found where I had found out the difference between turning radius and wheel cut... Definitions Link: http://blog.thormoto...dius-wheel-cut/ I hope this will be helpful...

The delivery was from Thor RV in Elkhart, IN to Lazy Days in Tampa Florida, so just under 1,200 miles with nothing noticeable as far as wind goes. I'll have to check my logs and I could tell you the mileage this coach was achieving. I would image the lower profile (this coach was under 12' tall) and a good center of balance would also contribute to the more stable ride. I noticed the motorhomes tanks are place in the center of the coach rather than off-set. I can agree several of the small to mid-sized gas motorhomes have been effected (more that I think they should have) by stronger cross winds.

After driving a one of the new 2013 Palazzo 34' diesel pushers (http://palazzorv.com) a few days ago on a delivery, I have to say it had a fantastic ride. It was also very quiet for a diesel motorhome. But I have to warn you that the air brakes on small diesel motorhomes like 33' or 34' foot work very very well... It was a Cummins 300HP ISB / 660lbs.ft. and it had plenty of giddy-up. marksheinkopf, I'm just learning all this and I noticed to said "60 degree turning radius", I believe you had intended to state "60 degree wheel cut". Wheel Cut is the amount the wheel can turn and the turning radius is effected measurement and by the motorhomes wheelbase. I believe a modern day motorhome chassis ranges from a 50° up to about 60°. Most Freightliner Diesel Chassis are 55° with a few with the ZF Independent Front Suspension increasing to a 60° wheel cut. Does this sound about right?

Has has anyone looked at the new ACE? I wanted to catch one in Tampa but missed the show. It looks great on their website (Thor Motor Coach). I found one on auto trader under 90K. I like the bunk over the cab, it's like my C.
