Yep, the Newell copycat (features not quality), the Country Coach Rhapsody introduced recently has a steerable tag. MCI now has a bus chassis (E4500) with a steerable tag available for motorhome conversion but I am not aware of anyone actually converting one yet.

«~» I know a few 'MCI Renaissance Conversions,' '98 and '03 have a rear steerable tag axle.

«~» In fact, 'MCI E SERIES RENAISSANCE COACHES,' from 1997 on have steerable tag axles.

«~» Michael has you quoted ". . . the Newell copycat (features not quality), . ." With this MCI info,
after all these years, they must know a few things about 'Steerable Tag Axles' . . . No ? ~ (I do
remember reading, something like 50 MCI shells per year, are set to become conversions, 'Motor-
homes or Entertainer/VIP Coaches.'

«~» And as you mentioned Michael, the 'Country Coach Rhapsody' has a steerable tag.

«~» By the way, the Rhapsody is an 'Hoooooorrible Motorcoach On All Sides', something . . .
Meant For Halloween, Not Thanksgiving ; from the outside looks ('No Porsche Design
Involve-
ment Here
') the Slides are half the depth of Newell's and . . . 'CC Tried to Copycat a 'Newell
Coach' in Every Way Without Any Success !


«~» With all their experience, 'CC' should put their name on Newell's production listing ; order
as many 'Newell Coaches' as they can (maybe the total production) replace the 'Newell Logo'
with the 'Country Coach Logo' and call it 'New Rhapsody' 'New' for Newell of Course !
". . . Now, Would That Be Something or What !"

«~» A 'Newell Coach' or a 'Newell in Disguise' one way or the other, it's a 'Newell' and that's
what 'RV Lovers' really demand !
»»»»»»»»»»» 'NewellClassic.com' «««««~»»»»» 'NewellClassic.com' «««««««««««
«~» With this said and, referring to the 'Press Release,' I wonder if Karl Blade had or has ano-
ther direction to the phrase ; "And we are the only North American motorcoach company to incor-
porate a steering tag axle . . ."

'Thanksgiving' . . . is not only an holiday with a bird . . . it's 'Saying Thanks 365 days . . .'

«~» You'll find one of 'Sterling Marlin's' past MCI bus by 'CLICKING HERE'
«~» It's a complete description of a 'MCI Coach' and steerable tag under :
'Steering System: Leather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel
with ZF variable ratio and steerable tag axle'
