I find it interesting to note all of the comments on here about tags or no tags all seem to relate to weight capacity or handling in cross winds. Personally when I did my research to find my ideal setup, one of the things I considered was wheel base and steering cut. These two things equate to steering radius which for me is something I was concerned about. I wanted lots of living space, but also wanted to get into some tighter areas that most tag units wouldn't maneuver easily. From my 39V Discovery with a 256" wheel base, the next size up was a 40X Discovery with a 276" wheel base. I love the room we have even though we are 1 foot shorter, The wheel base is almost 2 feet shorter and I don't do the three point turns into my favorite spots like I've seen others do. As for cross winds, I have had only one occasion when I was working to keep straight on the highway, the tractor trailers in front of me were playing pinball with each other and the grey dog behind me was like my mirror image with every gust. I think if you figure out what it is you really want through a list of "Must Haves, Nice to Haves, and Can Do Withouts", you'll find that perfect unit for yourself and be happy with it. Floorplan is really huge, you must love the inside too, not just the way it drives. I love the way a Porche drives, but I can't live in it! Everyone will have their own reasons for certain models, makes, and tags or no tags, but the only opinion that really counts is yours in what makes you happy. Spend the time to research, test drive and compare to find your ideal set up, your happiness will be worth it in the end.

I use US Gear remote braking in my Jeep TJ Sahara towing 4 flat, one plug in and a remote break away cable. A small unit on dash of MH for indication that systems connected and working, never any issues, just flawless performance. Have never drained the battery or had any brake drag issues.

Thanks to all on here with their helpful posts. Being my first evening browsing through these forums, I can't help but be amazed at the responses to people's issues. I've been RVing over 20 years and only in the last year have been an FMCA member. It's these types of forums that not only help people get through an issue and fix something, but also help everyone learn at the same time. It may not be my problem today, but who knows about tomorrow? One never knows that if I read about it today, then it might not even be a problem tomorrow! So to all the helpful advice out there, THANK YOU!

As for not knowing whether or not a breaker has tripped, it's easy to shut them off and turn them on again feeling for a firm click as they reset. Hope you have the remedy in hand already.

I've had really good luck with Kirkland brand batteries from Costco, not only are they available everywhere, the warranty is unquestionable.

If dealing with an electrical supply place, and you want something good for really cold weather ask for 6/4 SJOOW cable. It is slightly heavier due to 4 conductors being 6 guage, but the jacketing is good into the deep freeze temperatures.
