Meaning.... TOTAL from end to end and not the
wheelbase measurement? Let me know and I'll
put a tape to a bare short wheelbase frame I
have :Thumbsup

Checked it again.... 15 feet almost on the nose.
Look at it this way.... 114" wheelbase measured
to axle center-lines.... add ~28" from the front
axle center-line to the end of the frame and add
~38" from the rear axle center-line to the end of
the frame :Thumbsup

Robin.... ya better check your gait! :joker :joker
I hope you haven't closed on that house yet :lol: ....
you may have to blow out the back of the garage.
