Is a tandem axle cargo trailer worth the extra $ over single
Since we can't go out anywhere I have been working on my business plan starting a craft business.
We (my wife and I) will need a enclosed cargo trailer to transport the goods to various craft shows. I have been looking at various trailers and have determined that a 12 foot trailer is adequate to meet our needs.
We can purchase one with either a single or tandem axle. There is about a $1200 difference in price.
The advantages of a tandem axle as I see them are:
Has brakes
Can handle a flat/blowout better
Easier to back up
more weight capacity
Are there any that I'm missing?
I'm strongly leaning to the tandem axle model and just want to make sure the extra cost is worth it.
Thanks in advance for your input.
