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.

They make it work for the double trailers behind semi's so it could be done and the stability could be worked out but the weight and cost would be prohibitive and also it would be more difficult to mount propane and batteries with a moving tongue.
It may not be totally impossible to back double trailers, but I doubt one driver in a hundred can back a set of doubles more than a few feet.
I suppose you've never lived on a farm and had to move around hay wagons. I've backed up 3 wagons behind a tractor when I was 15 years old helping one of the local farmers bail hay. Tricky? Yes! Can you go very far? No. But it can be done.
FYI, backing a wagon is nothing like backing a single or tandum axle trailer ... totally different animal!
