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.

On small trailers that I looked at the double axle had two 13 inch tires and lite weight axles. The single axle trailer had a heavier duty axle and 15 inch tires.
If you had a blowout on the double axle you would have ruined two tires because you would have seriously over rated the 13 inch tire.
I have always thought two axles would be better then one but I think I have changed my mind in favor of a single axle small trailer.
I like the fact I can get load range C and D and in 15 inch tires.
If I look for a 17 foot trailer to explore with I think I will look at single axle for rugged ground.
