Hi, I am thinking of upgrading to a used diesel pusher and would like to hear some opinions on the good and bad of a tag axle. I understand the tag can carry more weight and am not sure yet if I will be looking at 40 foot or bigger. It does seem to me like many of the upper end models have a tag. I also would be interested in some opinions on engine size for a 40 footer. I have researched a bit and saw some rough guides of 30,000 lbs= 300 hp, 36,000= 360 hp , etc. Any thoughts on Cat vs Cummins and any bad or good years for either? I know I'm asking a lot and expect many different opinions. Thanks in advance. Ken
DP 40 ft and under generally don't use a tag the 42-3 -45 all have tags because of the extra weight generally speaking.there are some heavy older monacos and holiday ramblers etc that were 40ft and had tags
Believe you me you don't want a 36000lb Motorhome with only 360HP
I could care less what others think on this. You need 400HP or more
on 40Ft and longer
I have a 40ft 4 slide allegro bus non tag with the 425ISL and a 50HP module and its barely adequate
