Very nice, I'm not sure if this has been asked before but what is the overall length? what is the wheel base?

 

[vijay-TC]

Also, do you have a push axle in there?

 

[volvoman]

sorry it took so long to reply. had to send my son to body shop to measure wheel base. wheel base is 332 1/2" . motorhome is 45' long. it's a tandem axle with a tag axle between steer axle and front tandem. so it has a total of 4 axles.
