Probably a Silly Question
But..... Why don't they separate dual-trailer axles and make them more like car/truck axles? Like put one near the front and another near the rear? Seems like they would be more stable then too.

I have often wondered why they don't at least spread out the axles on the TTs and other trailers.
Having pulled a lot of commercial trailers with large oversize loads on them. I much prefer trailers with spread axles over than ones with axles close together, they distribute the weight better and are more stable. Many trailers that haul custom cars are built this way like this one.
I had a trailer built to haul all my toys and did the math on it to position the axles and it pulled with no sway at all, why cant the MFG of TT and others do the same. It would seem that they would be much safer to tow by an unexperienced driver.
That is one big reason that I went with motorhomes over pulling something.
