Not sure what you mean by toy hauler without a garage. That is typically what defines a toy hauler.
Number of axles is about weight, though newer rigs you heavier axles and tires to keep down to twin axles. The trade off is this is where you read stories of blow outs. Those heavy duty trailer tires are produced in small batches and then ran near their limits, so quality control is harder. Realistically, you don't get to pick the number of axles. The number of axles the trailer comes with is the number of axles. You don't get to add an extra.
What I mean by no garage is for the toy hauler to be all open and not have a wall from the kitchen to the garage with a door.
From what I have read some trailers come with 2 7,500 lbs axles and others come with triple 5,000 lbs axles?

M-2805 SL 29' x 8' Fifth Wheel 2 axles dry weigh 6559
M-3005 SL 31' x 8' Fifth Wheel 2 axles dry weigh 6920
M-3105 LE 32' x 8'5" Fifth Wheel 3 axles dry weigh 5800
M-3305 LE 34' x 8'5" Fifth Wheel 3 axles dry weigh 6000
M-3505 LE 36' x 8'5" Fifth Wheel 3 axles dry weigh 6200
They show m-2805 sl and m-3005 sl as tandem axle with weights of 6,500 and 6,900 lbs. While the m-3105 sl is triple axle and only weights 5,800 lbs? I think might be a typo beings is a wider and longer trailer?
Thanks for all the input you guys :-)
