			I started out with a single 1st 7 years. when that rotted away, upgraded to a drive on tandem. The farther you plan to tow, the more you will be glad you have a tandem. Handles much better and like Randle, I lost a wheel on my single once, always glad now to have the load distributed over two axles and four tires and wheels. Pull with a Chevy Astro, no brakes, no problem.  Oh Yea, I also lost a wheel on my tandem (rusted axle) backing down the ramp a couple of years ago... was half tempted to still go fishing and worry about it after, didn't but instead of being stuck at the ramps I just threw the wheel in the Astro and drove back home on three wheels.

			I have the original 1980 aluminum tandem axles trailer, no brakes. Nevertheless, there have been many times I wish I had a trailer with brakes. If it's no going to set you back too much - get them.    |

			I forgot to add that I also have a galvanized tandem that I will be installing brakes on in the next couple of weeks, Lord willing...  I bought the Kodiaks as recommended by the others on this forum.
