Thanks!! That long overhang concerned me as well, only for weight distribution issues. I have to say, this thing pulls my trailer down the road just like my truck does, maybe even better.
Power wise, it's has as good if not better pulling power than my truck and this coach alone weighs as much as my truck and trailer combined. While driving it home the other night, empty...I set the cruise at 65 mph and it pulled a long fairly steep hill that is always a good test point for such a thing...all the way to the top without even breaking a sweat or downshifting out of OD. It also pulled several more hills with cruise set at 70 mph without downshifting out of OD.
Driver comfort wise, you can't tell the difference between the two. I don't think I'll have any trouble driving this thing for an extended period...unlike that Class A we borrowed last summer. 6 hours behind the wheel of that thing wore me slam out.
Side wind wise...we'll just have to see...but from what I could tell by the few times a Semi passed me while on the highway, wind doesn't seem to affect this rig much at all. It has the Firestone Ride Right air bags in the rear and monster sway bars front and rear...both seem to really help it get down the road. Being so aerodynamic was one of the draws of going with a Class B+.
