Default 7A wheelbase
Can someone please give me the RV7A wheelbase measurement ?? let me know if it is from wheel inside to inside,center to center,or outside to outside.
I'm going to trailer a 7A and want to make sure mine is wide enough.
Thanks
Bob

That measurement would be wheel "track".
"Wheelbase" would be from the center of the nose wheel to the center of the main wheel along the centerline..

Mel - Thanks for the correction I'll remember that for next time.
Bruce Thanks for the measurement .Since I'm trying to fit it on a trailer the Hub to Hub is the one I need.
Thank you both
Bob

Thumbs up Width between wheels
Don't forget to add the wheel nut for outside measurement. Don't ask how we know.
