You guys have already talked me out of any thought of going without a toad. I'll go with a toad for sure! The 40' sounds good. I thought most 40's have a tag axle? Tag axle a bad idea or just that it costs more to buy?

Sounds like you need to get out and start looking at coaches. I upgraded from 37' to a 40' diesel. Did not have to "haul an extra bathroom around" we only have one thanks.
35 to 40 is a nice size, great ride, NO TAG AXLE!!!!!! the shorter diesel coaches ride rough! Shorter wheelbase = rough ride.
Another question you will be asking is 4 down or a dolly when towing....4 down is the way we go! Takes about 2 minutes to hook the jeep up! just as quick to disconnect.
Typically, coaches over 40 feet will have a tag axle. Will cost ya more when going thru tolls, two extra tires to deal with. You will see the 1-1/2 baths in some of the bigger rigs. One issue with the extra bathrooms...VACUFLUSH!!! LOL. Start reading the vacuflush threads...not pretty.
Great forum with LOTS of great people!
