Agree. Class A on Ford F-53 chassis should have greater front wheel cut angle than the Axis/Vegas or Class-C built on E-Series (at least it used to be that way). The turning radius on Ford 30-ft Class C with wheelbase over 200 inches was horrendous.
Larger Class As on F-53 sometimes do have shorter wheelbase for their size, but downside for those units is longer rear overhang. We looked at a 32-foot Hurricane built on a 190-inch wheelbase (similar to much shorter Axis/Vegas) and the rear length just seemed too long. Mostly the MH was way larger than we need when traveling alone.
