Just thought this may be an interesting bit of info know.

Dave, have you looked under the motorhome to confirm the stretch? Or measured the wheelbase? Is it possible the specs you are going by are off, and that the chassis is shorter? Or that the length is longer than indicated by Ford?
The process to lengthen a chassis must be more expensive than if done at factory. It doesn't seem right that they would do it if avoidable. Have you asked Thor why they stretch instead of buy longer with slightly higher GVWR?
