JR,

The wheel base of a 26' (312") GMC according to the drawings provided by Boyd Mooney is 160 inches from the center of the front wheel to the center of the bogie pivots.

A Buskirk Stretch is 29.5" (354") and 192" from the center of the front wheel to the center of the bogie pivots.

Therefore 32" was added between the bogie and the front wheel leaving 10" behind the rear wheel.

Do these numbers make sense to you?

Rob,
A semi accurate measurement using tape measure and an eyeball to check the measurement from the middle of the bogie to the centerline of the front wheel is 192 inches or 16 feet. If you look at the pictures of the side of the coach Majority was added between entry door and the leading edge of the wheel well of the middle bogie. A smaller amount was added after the trailing edge of the rear part of the rear bogie and the LP Door.

Notice the big difference between the trailing edge of the door and the leading edge of the wheel well. 2 foot 9 inches and about 9 inches after the rear bogie trailing edge of the wheel well.

26 foot coach

The 26 foot coach has about 2” on each side of the wheel wells.
