I will let Tom respond to your question since he has a 1990 38' without a tag axle. Load carrying capacity is significantly reduced without the tag axle, especially on a 40'. It is a very attractive coach. The labeling of the coach is somewhat confusing. It is NOT coach number 390. Coach 390 is a 1995 42' 6" coach with a Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine that belongs to Richard and Rhonda. I suspect that the 390 indicates that it is actually a 39' coach rather than a 40'.
Other than the limited carrying capacity without the tag, it appears to be in nice condition, low mileage and at $69,000, one heck of a good deal assuming the drive train is in good condition and I have no reason to believe otherwise. The lowest advertised price I have previously seen on a 1993 was $87,000 on coach 329, a 42' 9" Newell on RVOnline.com.
