Hello...

Welcome to the site.

The single rear axle in the rear with such a large coach was also a concern of mine until I talked to Freightliner. I was worried about the weight and was more or less told it really was not needed on the unit as the way they are designed these days, the load is not even close to what it really can handle. It also seems that the tag axle is a "look" vs a need and it is used a lot for that. (It does offer other things, but at the same time removes cargo space and gives you 2 more tires to buy and also more things that can go wrong.)

In regards to "GS's deplorable customer service". Well, seeing it is well out of warranty, you really would not need to deal with GS at all. Yes, they need to work on it, but I have also heard of issues with others companies as well.

Not sure on the 99 TM's at all, but we love the value we received with our 08.

Good luck!
