Expedition Master III
For trailers, i have always preferred a dual axle. I have found them to be safer in a blown tire scenario. If you lose a tire at Hwy speeds, the other axle and remaining tire on the 2nd axle, will keep the trailer tracking straight. With a single axle, there is a much higher percentage of lost control or the trailer flipping, before you can safely pull over to the side of the road. I have witnessed the violent sway of a single axle trailer losing a tire at speed. A situation that could cause a horrible chain reaction crash.
I put on the dual sway bar system on my flatbed, but for those who use a RTT type camp trailer (raised suspension), do you use one of those single hydraulic or friction hitch sway control systems, while rolling down the Hwy to your destination?. They are easy to disconnect for articulation in off-road areas. I have not seen this come up for discussion, and wondered about it, as most of these trailers have a short...Tongue hitch, which would exasperate a lost tire at speed. There are some serious $$$$ invested in these off-road trailers.
So chime in on your thoughts and stories, the Pros/Cons, observations on the road, installs, etc!
