I've had a tire blow out on a single axle.
I've had a tire blow out on a tandem dual axle.
On the single axle, the trailer began to sway almost uncontrollably. It took me almost a mile to stop it safely. And when I did stop, there was significant damage to the rim, hub and fender.
On the dual axle, I wouldn't have known the tire blew if I hadn't seen rubber flying around in my side mirror. It tracked stable and I was able to pull over immediately.
IMO - single axles are Ok for short trips or when you have a very light load behind a larger vehicle. Dual axles will cost more, but are well worth the piece of mind and safety in the long run.
