Airspeed you've got a great idea there. Good things sometimes take time to catch on.

As for the hot tub / suana thread http://tnttt.com/viewto ... ndensation Bledsoe3 kinda got it started and Finn and Mike developed it. It was one of my first posts and I didn't know how to handle Mikes spoof, which you saw eariler in this post.

I'm hoping Mike has the courage to build his design.

I need some support here, can some of the members who have towed both single and double axle trailers describe their conclusions on the differences between the two pulls.

I'm so excited to get the LongHaul done, but today, I'm watching the Oregon Michigan game. Go Ducks

I have towed both, but the tandem axle trailers have been larger, car hauler type. So the singles I have towed have been small, the doubles large. The tandem axles should want to go strait, while backing this is helpful. Tight corners I see as more of a challenge. Pushing it by hand around corners I do not think will be advisable. Just my thoughts, and I think it is a cool idea to put tandem axles on a tear. Maybe #2.

Del's statement about corners is right on, tandems just don't pivot around as well as a single axle.

Everything has its pros and cons
