  1. Balancing the weight per axle on a tag axle coach is a little more complex than it might first appear.

    Some tags are adjustable (i.e. have a separate control for their air bags). Others use a proportioning valve to air the tag and drive axle as a "unit". If it has a separate adjustment, clearly it is easier to adjust.

    Also, adding weight to the tag/removing weight from the drive axle shifts weight TO the front axle. So you will need to verify that your front axle is enough underloaded to allow more weight to be added to it.

    So, please post each axle's actual weights (individual wheel positions even better) as well as each axle's GAWR.

    Then we can see what might be done.

    Sorry about that.

    My front axle is rated for 14200 lbs. The rt front tire is carrying 6000 lbs and the left front tire is carrying 6050.

    My dually axle is rated for 20000 lbs. The rt dual is carrying 11200 lbs and the left dual is carrying 11650 lbs.

    My tag axle is rated for 11000 lbs. The rt tab is carring 2100 lbs and the left tag is carrying 2400 lbs.

    My dually axle is over by 2850 lbs.

    The air bag system is controlled by HWH controls.

    The weighing was done this last July at the Good Sams Rally in Louisville, Ky by the RVSEF, the Recreation Vehicle Safty Education Foundation.

    I hope this helps
