Backing is simply a matter of the geometry between the tow vehicle and the trailer and has nothing to do with the number of axles. Single axle trailers tend to be shorter which makes them more responsive to steering input. Therefore, they "Jackknife" more easily.
I hadn't thought of it in these terms before so thanks for the clarification. I have not towed a dual axle travel trailer but I have towed a dual axle cargo trailer - 6x12 U-Haul - and the perception I had with that was it was slower to start turning when backing up. But maybe not an accurate comparison. With a little practice you quickly figure out the behavior and it's not a problem.
