I'll go along with that. Personally I think the LWB make slightly better tow vehicles than SWB as they have the longer wheel base.

I opted for the swb as it makes manouvering the caravan easier in tight spaces. :P

Not a big difference in wheelbase, the LWB gets its longer body to a great extent from the longer rear overhang. See, to recall a SWB wheelbase is about 93 inches, and a LWB is about 100 inches.
