Single or Double Axle?
Thinking of getting a TT after many years in a 21' Class C. Pretty sure I understand the general differences but not having pulled one I'd like some opinions/feedback. Can a single be just fine ...

Nothing I've ever read or observed suggests that the dual axles bounce less because there are two axles. The dual axle 18 ft trailers look like they bounce around just as much as a single axle 16 or 17 ft trailer. Maybe more even, because they hit the same bump twice.
When a tandem axle trailer front tire goes up over a bump, the equalizer pivots and the frame only rises 1/2 of the height of the bump. Then this repeats for the rear. So while there will be 2 "bumps", they will be 1/2 as high. Given the choice between one larger bump and 2 smaller ones, the smaller ones are less likely to disrupt the contents of the interior and is probably less jarring to the tow vehicle.
