Jason, the wheel base is 243" The truck was built with a sleeper and most sleeper trucks are that long or longer. The bumper to bumper length is 19'4" and it is 119" from the front bumper to the rear of the cab.
My shop size has a lot to do with the way I am building it. The shop is 24' x 40' with a 9' workbench area and an open floor area of just under 31'. The roll-up door is 10' high and the motorhome will be just over 12' when finished. I am building the lower unit (everything from the floor down) on the truck first then I will build what will look like a big camper on the shop floor and move it outside and put it on the truck.
Take your time looking for a truck and get one that will work for your plan. I will upload a picture of the truck when I bought it. Good luck
