Good idea.
My experience with single vs tandem axle cargo trailers came from using them on job sites as tool trailers.
Our first cargos were two 7k gvwr SA 14' footers with brakes. It was impossible for us to put the tools back in the right spot inside/outside the trailer for the right amount of hitch weight for the size truck we used moving to the next job site.
As the business grew we went with two 10k gvwr 16" tandem axle cargo trailers. Every agreed the TA trailers handled much better...much better braking and didn't pound the tow truck like the SA trailers did if the hitch weight wasn't exactly right.
Point is load the single axle trailer with the right amount of hitch weight and make a note where every thing inside and outside the trailer goes.
