It just makes me wonder, too. My unit has a 190" wheelbase and is 30.6' long. But Thor (or whoever did it) did not change anything to the Ford supplied chassis itself, they just added a frame extension to the end of the Ford supplied chassis. The extension was done OK, but I wanted to carry a motor scooter on the back and did not feel that the welds were done well enough for that purpose (the unit came with a 3500 lb hitch only). Because of this my son, a Ford mechanic and certified welder, redid the welds and welded extra gusset plates to the extension connection to beef this are up and we installed a heavy duty hitch in the back to be able to carry my scooter.
Considering that the relative simple extension, done to my coach was a little questionable, I would make sure that all the things, listed by you, are done well prior to taking such a motorhome onto the road.
