What is the WB of a 1989 Regal 28 ft.? Seems to have a lot of overhang. Surely Barth did not build that unit on a 158 WB.??
Thanks

Most were 178 inches until about 1988. After that you could get a 190 wheel base but I think many later Regals were on the Ford Oshkosh chassis.

The early longer Regals had tag axles which were not installed by Barth, they were add-ons by another local company.

Thanks Steve. maybe it was just the long overhang for the Bumper/spare tire that made it look short. It is an 89 with a 454. I am awaiting info from the owner.
