No, not hardly. Whether the wheel dish faces out (like the drive axle) or in (like the front wheel) really depends on the coach design in that area. When a shorter tag axle is chosen the brake drum or disk is positioned in line with the drum (disk) on the drive axle. The tag wheel can then be mounted dish out to match the drive axle. When a coach designer chooses a long tag axle the brake drum or disk is mounted considerably further out and the wheel is then mounted with the dish facing in. Although I haven't been under one of these mounts, I expect the designer is using some of that added width (brake to brake) to mount other items. I agree it looks a bit stupid though. Tiffin tags are are on a narrow axle so the tag wheel mount matches the drive axle outer wheel look and tracks the outer drive wheel. Our Bus had over 110,000 miles since it was built in 2013 and wheel bearings are just fine. 5 round trips to Alaska over some very poor and some very good roads.
