Re: Educate me on Trailers

I strongly recommend dual axles and electric brakes. I have had single axle trailers where a broken spring has resulted in the trailer sitting on top of a tire on the ground. It's rare, but that second axle can be a lifesaver. In addition, on the occasion when you have to haul more than normal, you can.

I recommend electric brakes. Here in the icy north, having brakes that stop the trailer without pushing on your tow vehicle (surge brakes) are a wonderful thing.
