One good thing about a tag is that you pretty-much don't need to worry about being over your weight limits. The less-good thing is that because the tag takes up space, you have less basement space to carry "stuff" there.
Golden-HVAC is right: You're more likely to not fit into a campsite because of your length, not your width (some exceptions, of course). Our coach is functional with any/all slides in, so it's never been an issue.
Unlike Dennis' fancy Executive, the tag on our 42' Phaeton isn't liftable.
The tag on our previous coach (Monaco Dynasty) lifted. On our current coach, the tag releases pressure but still carries a partial load but allows for a tighter turning radius. At 53,000 lbs., the tag still needs to carry some weight.

MM, YOURS weighs MORE than mine..:h. Damn, now I'M gonna have to start looking at new coaches...:W.....Dennis
The weight does come with a fuel dilemma... (12.8 liter Volvo SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, 500hp, 1,770 lb. ft. of torque).
70 mph = 5.5
65 mph = 6.0
60 mph = 6.5
55 mph = 7.0
(I'm always pulling a toad).
