Title: MB Width Dimensions
Post by: HiLola on April 29, 2021, 01:55:26 pm
Does anyone know the width of the later model MB’s?  I need to know the center-to-center width measurement for the front tires and rear duallies.  Thanks!

I think our 2002 was 102" not including the mirrors or awning for the body.  Not sure which tire measurements you want.

What can Greg be worrying about now? And Greg, you have a Lazy Daze, don't you have a tape measure? :D

Steve, no worries, and stay inside and keep dry!

Trying to do some leveling of my parking area at home so I don’t have to drive up on blocks which will make getting ready for a trip easier. The LD is parked in storage right now and I'm too lazy to drive 15 miles to town to take the measurement.  ;)

Our 2021 27 MB wheelbase is supposed to be 176 inches from front axle to back axle according to our manual... we don't have the RV yet to measure  ::)

Yes, I was able to find that dimension in the specs online but not the widths. Guess I’ll be heading into town.

I'll measure.
The inner or outer dually?

For those who may not have run across it yet, Ford hosts a number of useful documents at its Body Builder Advisory Service (BBAS) - Publications Web site, link here (https://fordbbas.com/publications). You use the "SHOW MORE" button to reveal information for chassis older than the current model year.

Body Builders Layout Book (BBLB) for 2017 E-Series chassis is here (https://madocumentupload.marketingassociates.com/api/Document/GetFile?v1=4311673&v2=060118100136&v3=60&v4=70543fe8d980c5bf8779df197a5e72c56136866be4da0013afd1e8ec&v5=False)
Note 1: Greg's LD may be built on a 2016 chassis.
Note 2: See pages 12 and 14 for distance-between-tire-center dimensions "FW" and "RW"

In the same BBLB list there is one for electrical wiring. A link to the 2017 BBLB Electrical Wiring section is here (https://madocumentupload.marketingassociates.com/api/Document/GetFile?v1=4311665&v2=060118095955&v3=60&v4=e4b25320fef8b324b8968245d51fb127eda0743a7a7918c3d2afe578&v5=False).
Note: The 2015 Electrical Wiring section (link here (https://madocumentupload.marketingassociates.com/api/Document/GetFile?v1=4311615&v2=060118093748&v3=60&v4=d7acf5e712115cbc0eafe1901dc1ebd92e50dfc7abfd800f784b3568&v5=False)) has more information than the 2017. I wonder where the diagrams went?

Similar helpful information is available under "Specifications" on the BBAS Publications page. Link for the 2017 E-Series chassis is here (https://madocumentupload.marketingassociates.com/api/Document/GetFile?v1=4309958&v2=053118025557&v3=60&v4=957b83c5b1b68156352d3776f40155be2643fde7561810139db40db3&v5=False).

Mark, thanks for that document; I had forgotten it existed.  I can get the measurement from there so never mind,  Tedeboy!
The chassis has a manufacture date of Sept. 2016 so not sure what that makes it.

Your LD and chassis are both 2017 models. I doubt there has been any changes to the width of the axles and wheels since Ford introduced the wide-body chassis in the late 1990s for the 27’ and 31’ models. The shorter, 23.5’ models didn't get the wide body chassis until 2003.
