Title: Passive steer tag axle
Post by: Old Plumber on June 06, 2022, 07:08:32 pm
I noticed today after making some pretty tight turns my tag didn't straighten out. Had to pull over and pull forward and back to get it straight. Happens again when I went to park it in the covered building? Anyway wondered if anyone else had this issue and what you do to keep it from happening. This is a new to me 16 Realm. TIA

There are not many on here with the passive tag but I think I remember FT saying you have to speed up to get it to lock in place forward and that is hard parking it. I was on an MCI bus with a passive tag and when he stopped and let us off the tag was pointing the wrong direction too. I thought it was odd.

When Foretravel was making their own chassis they started using a passive tag.  Then they stopped due to the problems that either they were having with them or the complaints they were getting.  Once Spartan started making the chassis for Foretravel they went back to the passive tag. 

As John has said, not very many newer coaches on here yet.  As much as I hate it but you might get a better answer from the Foretravel Realm Facebook group.
