While looking at single axle trailers, look for the packages with the upgraded axle. For example Forest River Wolf Pup series normally comes with a limiting 3500# axle and 14” wheels but they have an Adventure package that upgrades the axle to 5000# and 15” wheels.
IMHO, overall advantages lean to the dual axle units. Single axles are a lighter tow and easier to maintain.
I can see the appeal of going to a smaller TT. IMO, unused bunks waste overall space and make for odd stowage areas. We bought ours, like many, thinking about the grandkids. Mistake on our part. I removed the upper bunk, added a clothes rod in that upper space. When my granddaughter camped with us, I slept in the remaining bunk. If my grandson camps with us, he’ll get the bunk. They almost only ever camped together with us when we camped in the same campground with our daughter & SIL, pretty much babysitting duty ;(
BUT, if it’s paid for?
