I'm not a towing person, but I'm curious ... what's the main reason for tandem axles ... extra weight carrying capacity or safety (due to each side having an "extra wheel" in case a tire should blow)?
When my BIL was shopping for a small TT and seeing that some had a single axle and some had tandem axles, I advised my BIL to only buy one with tandem exles for safety's sake. That's what he did and now he feels much more secure should a tire ever blow at speed.
P.S. I notice that small horse trailers almost always have tandem axles, even though the weight of one or two horses probably doesn't justify the need for tandems based on weight carrying capacity alone. I assume the prime reason for small horse trailer tandems is safety of the horses should a tire fail.
