Am ordering a 7x18 v-nose to double as a mobile clinic........My question (amongst many) is drop axle v straight axle. Though I am not currently planning on off-road use, I will be using the trailer as a camp trailer also.
Suggestions??? Pros??? Cons??? (I'm just not that familiar with drop axles........)
Thanks
Will

Hi Will
EASY answerdrop axel = 3- 4" less ground clearance, if your street or driveway has a steep ramp TROUBLE is coming
good news when your 85 - its much easier to climb inside
Ok ready for next question ?http://overthetopcargotrailer.blogspot.com/
