Steering angle on 2000 Wanderlodge LXI

** CORRECTED **

Conny and Allen:

The steerable tag is basically designed to save tire wear (scrub) in
not-so-tight turns. The tags will still scrub in a tight turn unless you
"dump" them (retract). Obviously, if the tag could turn with the same
degree as the steer tires, there would be no scrubbing. The reference
point (fulcrum) is the drive axle wheels.

A simple exercise to get used to mirror references is to find a place
(empty parking lot etc) where you can place different-sized objects for
reference. Use your Toad as a "traffic item" to help you judge size; and
how much of your flat-mirror it occupies.

You can have a person stand at a location that would signify a reference
to begin a turn. Have that person give you a hand signal - or radio -
when the drive axle is at your "leverage point." Use low-sun shadows to
help mark the location of your coach - especially helpful when backing
(always best to have someone guiding you during backing maneuvers,
observing overhang swing, and tight vertical clearance situations). One
more
point, don't forget those big mirrors out there, they are extensions of
your coach.

Enjoy your LXi - safe travels.
