So, is the unknown benefit of a narrow trailer with a lower cg, worth all this extra work???
Hmm....
The short answer is no. Surge brakes would of course be the easiest to do since you don't have any wiring to worry about and you don't need to be sure of the ability of your brake controller to handle more than 2 axles. Most I believe will handle up to 4 axles of brakes. If your trailer is real narrow you can't see it in your mirrors which makes passing and backing a lot more difficult. You could mount a camera on the back of the trailer but that is just more expense and something else to maintain. My boat and trailer is much narrower than the trailer and I can't see it unless I'm in a turn or if the sun is at an angle I can drive by the shadow of the boat and trailer.
