one axle vs. two axles on short TT (20')
I was wondering what the pros/cons were of one axle vs. two axles on a short/lite TT. I'm talking about something less than 22' and 3500 LB dry. I guess I should also ask about wheel size too.

As a long-time single axle person, I would go with dual axles if they are available on the model you like. The cons are extra cost (so what?) and a loss of some storage space (because of the extra wheel well). The biggest pro is safety -- a blowout on a single axle can be very serious, while on a dual axle trailer it is not a big deal.
I would also think that when towing in mud or sand, a trailer with four wheels would "float" on top and would not dig in, the way a two-wheeler would.
But they don't make a dual axle in the model we wanted, so here we are with one axle. Life is a series of compromises.
