A tag axle is a third axle behind the drive axle. Once you get to 40' or longer most DPs run out of CCC so a tag increases it to 9000+ CCC. A tag is one of those things that once you've had it you will never be without it. It is amazing how much it improves the handling. I still do 12-14 hour days... 1500 miles in two days as my DP handles that well. Do a search for RR10S...top left and longer than 12 months. AquaHot heat and Girrard awnings are also in the category of once you've had them, you'll never be without.
Unfortunately there are still some on here that say 40' or more is too long for public campgrounds such as NP, SP, USFS BLM campgrounds. We just completed two months out west without reservations staying mainly in public campgrounds. We do this approximately every other year for the last 12 years without reservations. USFS that do not take reservations are our favorite... only trick is to not show up on Friday, show up Monday when the working folks have gone home.
I would recommend Monaco, Beaver, HR, Foretravel... some will add Newell and Prevost but they will cost you twice as much for the same year.
PS: J-Rooster, you were not first. :B
