New Mh
Strange. Seems every time we trade a car we have just put new tires on it. Wife is thinking about trading our Mh. Save a little foot work maybe. Who makes a coach with real woodwork, steers great, ...

Don't know we need or want full electric, if going propane would save thousands.
Markups are ridiculous these days so we hope we can get 500k sticker less than 300-320k. Think we really want trailing axle to help with steering stability.
The Newmar/Freightliner steering system, don't remember the name sounds good.
That tailing axle adds cost though. Forty feet is plenty.
Don't under estimate a tag axle. Yes, you will have to buy 2 new extra tires every 7 yrs. But, look at the benefits...
-Gives stability in the coach---drives straighter
-Smoother over speed bumps
-Allows for huge Cargo Carrying Capacity
-Gives an extra set tires for rotation
If you ever get a bad front alignment (happened to us).... I didn't catch it for 2,000 miles. I had good wear on the inner edges of both front tires. So, I had the almost new looking tag axle tires transferred to the front and the fronts on the tag. That worked great and saved a lot of money until it was time to change-out all the tires due to age.
Also, a 42ft. w/tag will have the same storage as a 40 ft. without tag (obvious because the tag takes up space). A 43-45 footer will give you more under-bay storage.
