Axle spacing

So I am going to the RV show this weekend to try to find me a upgraded trailer. Is the hype about the spread axles true? Do you get better track and pull with them farther apart. My shamrock now they are only 2 1/2in apart. Just curious if it should be a deciding factor? Thanks Michael

Your axles are not two and a half inches apart. The space between your tires might be 2.5 inches apart. I would be leary of wide spacing of axles for the scrub factor in tight parking spaces as mentioned above. Get a good hitch and load the trailer properly and it will track nicely down the road. Axle spacing would be the least of my concerns for a new coach. Expensive trailers like Airstream do not have wide spacing and they track exceptionally well. There is lots more to stabilty in towing than the spacing of axles.
