Backing into site - Tips?
Dick Simonis:
I kinda wish I hadn't read this thread. Didn't realize I had a problem till now but I that does explain the new pin stripes.
Keith Oliver:
Rather than a qualitative "its bad", can anyone give the angle that the front wheels cut to for the tightest turn? For example, Country Coach advertises its Independent front suspension "cuts to 55 degrees". I test drove one and saw that it is significantly tighter than my Beaver. When I parked at the curb in a cul de sac, I found that I couldn't turn sharp enough to avoid a car parked tight to the curb on the far side of the cul. With the CC, there would have been no problem. As this affects backing into a tight site, I need to take the wide turn into account when lining up. Where there isn't a lot of street width, it takes a couple of jockeying turns (at least) to get the rear wheels into the site without ending up on the wrong side.
Gerald Farris:
The turning radius problem in all Beavers did not improve until the 2003 model with design changes by Monaco. My 2000 Marquis will make a U-turn in two football fields.

Gerald, does that include the end zones? U-turns - What are they? More like 12 point turns when I attempt them.
Don't suppose there is anything that can be adjusted to allow the wheels to turn tighter?
Edward Buker:
Watch out for the goal posts if you are talking lengthwise...
