Not necessarily true, although it may be in some cases.
On trucks, when you "lift" the tag, it comes up off the ground.
On a lot of DP MH's, mine included, it does NOT lift off the ground. One could NEVER "spin" the wheels lifted.
The tag wheels are still on the ground, but the air pressure is taken off. To lift, it needs springs to lift it up, and a lot of coaches do not. Some may.
Our previous '08 Monaco Dynasty worked just like Dennis's. With the switch activated, the tag would lift and stay there if driving less that 6-7 mph. Even parked, you could raise the tag and spin the wheels.
The tag will release the 'lift' once you start the leveling process (we had both air and hydraulic leveling systems on our coach),
On our new coach, the tag does not lift but releases the load on the tag axle. We also only have air leveling.
