In 2012 an exception was made in the Highway Bill so MHs could have a 24K rear axle decreasing the number of MHs that need a tag axle... making it possible to have decent CCC without a tag. This will not help the OP as his $90K will not buy a 2012 or newer 39' mid level DP.
"Tag axles have little to do with quality or luxury," I have to disagree as more slides, hardwood cabinets, tile floors,Corina counters, thicker floors and roofs, Aqua Hot heating, often larger engines and transmissions all add to the weight... requiring a tag axle starting around 2002.
For the half time use the OP is wanting to do with four people I would buy the biggest DP I could find with the floor plan that works for them... that will require a tag axle coach.
