I agree with Midnightmoon. Also, axles have a maxium load capacity. If a trailer exceeds the capacity of one axle then an additional axle is needed. If the loaded trailer is safely under the axle capacity then one axle is sufficient and can normally handle the trailer’s saftey and stability requirements. I like the idea of a double axle in case of a tire blow out where with a double axle I have one tire remaining to get me to a safe location to change the blown tire. With a single axle trailer I will have to pull off the road at the blow out location and attempt to change the blown tire there, hoping I can get off the road far enough to safely change the tire.
