I think you already got it, but the Hensley and the ProPride still pivot when backing up. Otherwise you would never be able to back into a campsite. The Hensley and the ProPride project the pivot point up by the rear axle of the tow vehicle, but there is still a pivot.
Yeah, I've got it enough to understand that what I was originally asking just isn't possible, nor would it likely be desirable. Where I'm still thick in the skull is in trying to visualize why (if I tried something like I was describing) the wheels of the trailer would drag sideways on every turn but then I think of all the two axle vehicles I've seen and driven where that doesn't happen. Is that because on traditional 2-axle vehicles that the two axles are very close together?
That and tires typically have a lot wiggle. Watch more closely and you will see the tires of a tandem axle trailer really flex during a sharp. Sometimes I see axle flex too.
A tandem axle truck or trailer the axles are close together, and there is give in the suspension that will let the axles walk side to side if enough force is applied. On a tight turn, like the start late, turn sharp needed to corner with a long wagon on city street tires have a short life.
