Dual rear wheel or single rear wheel?
Hello all!! Brand new here to the forum. I have just purchased and brought home our new 5th wheel(with a buddies truck)and I am getting mixed reviews on which setup to get. Our 5th wheel is a Palomi...

2 quick stories.
In a previous life, I drove I-5 from Central CA to Central OR a LOT.
One trip I came upon a wreck recovery, tow truck had the remains of a SRW truck and a fifth wheel. It kinda looked like a salmon egg on a hook, all balled up. Found out later the truck (SRW) had a blowout on the RR, the wheel dug into the pavement and all hell broke loose.
Shortly after that I bought a DRW, running the same trip pulling a stock trailer, ran over something and the inside LR tire blew while I was negotiating an off ramp to the Anderson T/A for fuel. The truck wiggled and then settled, while fueling I checked the tires and found the inside tire was flat.
From then on I've only had DRW. Don't have a Fifth wheel but I still have a DRW.
