Hi Guys,
Upgrading from a 95 Wanderlodge WB42, to a XL45. My concern is the rear overhang and will it scrape going up my driveway. My driveway has a fairly level entry and then a short transition to a slight incline. In my WL I have about two inches of clearance (rear bumper). Any sort of a drop hitch will drag.
I know a XL40 would probably be no problem - but would like not to be constrained to just the 40' chassis.
I've heard the XL is 5' longer from steer axle to drive axle. If that's true then it would seem that the XL may have a shorter overhang. Visually I don't see it - but maybe it is. Also, what about ride height. I've heard the Prevost chassis has the ability to 'raise' the chassis 4" - 6" to assist with these situations? Is that true.
