Does anyone have a feel for where the center of gravity front to rear falls on a 23' and 26' coach?
I've an implement trailer which fits four 7x14.5 lowboy tires. I can get load range tires which will hold a bit over 10,000 pounds but the CG would need to fall between the axles or very slightly in front. I know I can get a 23' on it, it might be possible to fit a 26' as well. You could tow it with a 2500 series or 3500 series pickup with a heavy duty hitch on. It would probably have to be loaded across a ditch, or with a pair of dollies under the coach rear to clear the overhang.... it would have to load front to front.
It needs a set of tires, but I don't want to spend the money on them unless a coach will fit on it.
Can some of the math gurus take wheel weights from a rally and determine the CG on both lengths?
