Bill,
Dumping the air in the tag axle will allow you to turn in a shorter distance. But not by much! I have never tested it to see the actual difference; but in your case if it shortens the turning radius by 12" or so it would make the difference.
There is 25# of pressure on the tag so when you hit the switch it takes a few minutes for the air to exhaust down to 0. The tag axle doesn't lift off of the ground like some Prevosts. The only way you will be able to tell if the air has been dumped is to get out and look at the tag tire.
The downside to dumping the tag air is that the coach will squat down and you may rub the ground.
