774 9/6/2002 9:37:32 PM 9/7/2002 Jim Weckman jweckman@hutchtel.net Tag Axle Paranoia!? There probably is no "best way to go". We owned an 84 40' two axle coach, and now an 89 three axle. Both handle and drive well. The 84 was about 33,000#, and the 89 about 37,000#. The point being, the tag becomes required with added weight of the coach. On the plus side, the two axle coach will have more storage, and one less axle to maintain, not to mention two less tires to buy. I would suggest that you look at what your life style will be on the road,(how much stuff you need to have with you) drive the coach to a public scale and weigh it. Get weights for front and drive axle along with total weight. If what you need to live on the road will fit and will not over gross front or rear axles, you should have no problems.
