I am planning on building a small Toterhome to pull our 37’ fifth wheel trailer.
Our FL-60 has a 223” wheelbase which would work fine with one floor plan we have.
Our alternate floor plan I could reduce the wheelbase to about 200”. The DW likes the shorter floor plan which is the minimum length I can get by with for it to be re-titled as a motorhome in Arizona.
Is it worth shorting it to 200” for better maneuverability?
How will the shorter wheelbase affect the ride?
What in your opinion is the shortest distance between the back of Toterhome and the pin I can safely get by with?
When I figure out answers to the above questions I can start on the working drawings.

Thanks in advance,
Marty
