Tag Axle-Pluses and Minuses
Still looking for my next rig. Wondered if you guys with tag axles would buy one again. Does anybody feel they are not worth the trouble? Would you guys with tags ONLY buy a rig with the tag? Repea...

I was told that the law has changed or is changing and anything over 40 feet will now have a tag axle. The down side, that's a lot of tires.
I guess you did not believe what I posted above about the
increased in MH axle weight to 24,000 lbs. This will help the bigger MHs have enough CCC without going to a tag axle, BUT two more tires is well worth it to me for how much better one handles with the tag. Having to buy two more tires is a minus and you do loose some basement storage, but you can put way too much stuff in a coach with a tag without worrying about being over weight.
Based on MM's 54,000 lbs he already has a 24K drive axle and probably a 16K front and a 14K tag.
