After taking delivery of our 2012 Itasca Suncruiser 37F and comparing other gas models, I realized ours must be higher off the ground than any other gas model I've seen. More specifically, it measures on level terrain (with levelers extended) to 23" from coach to ground. As typical with other Winnebago products we've owned, I had to place a 4-inch drop hitch and 12-inch safety cable extensions to place our toad within the recommended "safety zone" for towing. Since I was concerned about this "high water" coach, I called Winnebago and asked if this was normal. At first all I got was a "Yep" and then he explained that the 37F has a larger chassis (Ford F53 24,000 lb) and larger wheels (measures 36 inch diameter) and that accounts for the distance from body to ground level.
Still, I am concerned with this. I realize diesels set low to the ground when air bags are deflated, but this gas model coach frankly looks weird with its high posture. Am I being overly concerned about this? Anyone else have the 37F Suncruiser and been concerned as well?
