Single or Double Axle?

I could see that being true at low speeds but wonder about highway speeds. At 65 mph that would only be a second or less for both wheels to articulate.

I used the speed distance calculator and both wheels would have to articulate in .0104895 of a second at 65 mph.

I have watched many trailers hit the speed bumps in front of our building. Though this is at low speeds, the articulation is obvious. Now if you are hitting speed bumps at 65 MPH.... That is going to be a problem, no matter what the axle configuration is.:B

Just saying most trailer's are towed at highway speeds where the advantage of tandem wheels is mitigated. I've never owned a single axle TT, just boat trailers with 13 inch tires. The largest advantage of a tandem (speculation) is the stability when parked. I have thought about a 17 foot Wolf Pup TH for overnights in remote places with a single axle. Personally anything larger I would want tandem wheels. A single axle it would be cheap to upgrade to a heavier axle and tires for off road.
