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...

Obviously a tag axle is there to carry extra weight. I don't know of many coaches that offer it as an option. The weight dictates a tag axle.

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.
A coach over 40 ft. should have a tag for stability in my opinion. The tail swing on a coach over 40 feet without a tag is rather huge. I didn't know about the law changing and it's probably a good thing.
Two more tires is not a big deal. I think the advantages out-weigh the extra coast of buying two extra tires every 7 yrs. or so. You really don't need to do anything to the brakes..... we never did in 70,000 miles on the previous coach.
