As for class A gas or class C motorhomes with the long frame extension added by the RV manufacturer it's anybody's guess, or the spit in the wind shadow test, as to what/how a room full of engineers that likely have never parked their cheeks in the seat of any motorhome or tow vehicle came up with a number.
Holy crap. Someone knows their ____.

Thanks.
