JR,
Sorry, my intent was to point out the overhang behind the rear wheels was not increased which in my opinion was a good thing.
How's this for a more accurate statement? Clarence's stretches were 3' making the GMC 29 feet long, he had new frame rails made of
heavier gauge "C" channel steel and relocated the rear bogies so that there was a 2 foot increase between the front and rear wheels
and 1 foot behind the rear wheels which as you noted kept it proportional.
Johnny,
I agree, before I bought this coach I'd want to inspect the frame to see how it was stretched and if this coach has fish plated
frame rails I would be concerned depending on the quality of the welding.
I also noted that it has OEM airbags and aluminum cones whereas Clarence used a beefed up version of Lee Harrison's 4 bag system (no
longer available as Lee has passed away).
