Here is the first picture I've seen of the new Vegas 25.4, which at 27-ft in length, is 1'-6" longer at rear than the original Axis/Vegas 24.1. The picture taken from the rear makes the overhang...

Are you referring to balancing weight or area of pressure?

I'm not sure I follow if the latter because a heavy engine and transmission leads to longer rear overhang compared to front overhang, and...

The Hurricane 30Q seems to have a very long rear overhang, even by RV standards. It's 31'-11" on a 190-inch wheelbase, which is practically the same wheelbase as Axis/Vegas that are at least 5 feet...
