one axle vs. two axles on short TT (20')
I was wondering what the pros/cons were of one axle vs. two axles on a short/lite TT. I'm talking about something less than 22' and 3500 LB dry. I guess I should also ask about wheel size too.

I bought a 14' single axle cargo trailer some years ago as a tool trailer that ran between job sites.
Made one trip from Tulsa, OK to Lubbock TX and back. Never did get the balance right for a nice smooth tow or braking even with the one ton truck.
Traded it for a 14' tandem axle cargo hauler.
Huge improvement.
Pros....4 brakes
...much much better ride and far better handling
Cons.....wasn't any.
