I am looking to convert a 2001 Sterling with a Cat C12 engine and a ten speed trans { large sleeper bunk} to a motorhome. Question is how much overhang over the rear axle would be appropriate. I would like to remove the first drive axle to convert to a single which would give me a wheelbase of 257" front centre of steering axle to centre of drive axle. Planning on a 30' living unit with a slideout which should make a nice size motorhome. Previously owned a Freightliner FL112 which pulled a large Golden Falcon trailer which I sold when my partner passed away. Thing is I guess I still have diesel fuel in my veins and getting itchy feet to hit the road again. Would also like a matching enclosed trailer to haul car, Air brakes of course.
