The usual reason you will see a tag axle on a CLass"A" rig is that the mfr. designed a coach that is too heavy for the intended chassis but wanted to keep the price of the rig down insted of using the proper chassis for the job. Fortunately this form of stupidity is on the wane as safety concerns now seem to override cost concerns a little more than they used to, due mainly due to folks wanting brakes that actually work more than once...
