Based on the article, that rv would be considered unsafe. Old Blue had a 192" wheelbase and was 336" long giving it a ratio of 57. It drove very nicely. However, IMHO, this is a rather simplistic approach to whether a motor home is safe or not. 28' Barth Breakaways had a rather heavy diesel in the rear and they had a 158" wheelbase. They were difficult to handle because of the weight ratio between the front and rear axles.

I have to say I was thinking about this ratio thing (related to the safety issue) before I bought a 1994 30'diesel Breakaway a couple months ago with a ratio under 50%. After talking to various owners of that particular coach (all positive), I took the plunge and bought it. I have to say, I'm not concerned at all at this time regarding the wheel base ratio of this coach. The Breakaway drives really nicely. It handled pretty well in heavy wind on my drive home (a long drive at that!) and didn't really bounce too much like I thought it would. I think part of the reason is because the Breakaway has such a low profile (10.5' height) and it's on a solid chassis. My old coach was 40' pusher with a tag axle (too big at the end of the day for me and my wife) and this one is 30', spring leaf suspension vs air bags. So, I guess it depends on the coach and the engineering behind it. Best to drive it and talk to other owners of the same coach, if you can, to really get a truthful opinion.
