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.

I've had both a single axle (current) pop-up camper and a 32 ft dual axle TT. They both tow smoothly. Backing is not an issue with either one.
I heard that dual axle trailers ride smoother...can't say that they do as both of my trailers ride smooth. The maintenance is less than 1/2 the price on the single axle (less tires and they are smaller).
I've had a single axle utility trailer for years, never had a problem with bounce or sway on any of them.
IMHO...it's a non issue...buy the trailer you like and if it has two axles..so be it...if it has one..so be it.
Thanks!
