When I was talking with the rep from Renegade the other day at the RV show, he mentioned that If I wanted to supply my own chassis for a conversion, to factor in a few thousand $ to stretch the frame, and a few thousand $ for a 16k front axle. It appears they MFG's are paying more attention to this..

Personally, if able to spec it myself and cost wasn't a factor, on my sketched-up 40' OAL conversion, I'd like a single screw with a retractable tag axle for when I'm towing heavy or up when bobtailing it for best MPG, but that's a lot of work for a minor reward.
