Pam,

I'm sure some of that responsive steering as purely a result of the shorter wheelbase on the 38. I think Tom said Newell referred to the 38's as sports cars.

Another factor, just thinking out loud, is the tag. The tag resists turning. You'll see that if you play in a big parking lot. Try a turning radius, and then do the same turning radius but take the time to relieve the air pressure on the tag. You'll see the difference.

It may be difficult to compare the engines since the coach weights are pretty different. The same may be true for the ride.

We'll have to arrange a weekend camping trip somewhere in southern OK, and we can compare notes and recipes.

Are you keeping the 38?
