Steve VWGreat stuff!
I'm thinkin' the trick here is the Barth structure with a tag axle for roll control... perhaps better bumpers...
Hmm... mine's too long... I wonder if anyone could shorten it?

Rick & MarciaI agree with the structure part but still don't know what a "tag axle" is or what GTG stands for

Mary RayA tag axle is a dead axle situated behind a drive axle. On some vehicles (such as motorcoaches), the tag axle may be steerable.
GTG: Get together
Hope this helps.

Mary RayI have seen a lot of tag axle vehicles but have never personally seen a steerable one. I have seen pictures but never the actual thing, sure would like to find one to play with.
Which Barth are you going to bring to Chattanooga?
