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.

Last month coming home on I-95 going 65 MPh I had a blow out on one of the trailer wheels. All I heard was a pop, and the trailer never even swerved.
I don't think I would have been as lucky if I only had one axle!
My current trailer has two axles (and weighs 3300 fully loaded and is 21' - there are MANY shorter lightweight trailers with two axles).
I've had a flat on this trailer, and it went fine... My previous trailer had a single axle. I also had a flat on that trailer, and it also went fine. No sudden sway or other danger. So long as your setup is good - a good hitch, properly adjusted - it really doesn't matter much.
But I'll bet you didn't five five miles on that one wheel when the other one blew out !
