Need to get shot
So I towed the trailer into the mountains last weekend with the bike on the lift. The wind was blowing and the trailer towed terrible. Especially going down hill the trailer would push the truck aroun...

Best solution to OP's problem = Toyhauler.
2nd best solution = move axles back. it likely won't take as much space as adding a third axle and cost should be similar or maybe even less.
I haven't seen a toyvhauler that I would prefer over our current trailer so I'm not overly interested in that option.
Moving the axles back would be significantly less expensive than adding a third axle. Very little material would be required and I can do most of the work myself. I would do the welding, hire someone to do the body work and then I would paint it myself.
Adding a third axle would be easier to do and would allow the bike to ride a fair bit smoother. It would also increase the carrying capacity of the trailer. The disadvantage I see of three axles is the cost of buying the axle/wheel assembly.
For the number of times I'm going to be carrying the bike behind the trailer the counterbalance might be good enough. I'll be trying it out next weekend.
