Gentlemen: My 23 foot coach is now having its interior redone and I am currently thinking about replacing / updating the stock steering wheel. I know I need to find one that has a clear view of the gauges. My question to the group is what diameter have you found to be the most efficient and or useful. Is a certain diameter just too small or too large?
Looking forward to your responses and what works for you.

Some like the low bar s15 truck wheel.

Most all the GM wheels will fit before air bags.

Steering it with a belt missing or a dead engine is akin to driving an elephant around by the trunk. I wouldn't put anything smaller than stock, and if I replace, it will be with a couple of inches larger. Mine's a 23' also, and no power steering is a handful.
