Quote:
Might it be the Venture trailer salesman has no single axle trailer that will handle a V-20, thus he insists you "definately need a tandem"...whereas other trailer salesmen have single axle units that'll handle your V just fine...Hmmm...not accusing...just speculating... Bottom line is there are singles out there that'll handle a V-20...Rob...who makes yours?...

Venture trailer man has a paycheck to worry about, that's why he says a tandem is your only option.
A properly set up single will be fine. Bunk placement, springs, axle, hubs, tires and wheels, and tongue weight. Especially towing only a mile. If your V is gonna spend the winter on the trailer, proper bunk support and placement is essential to keep the hull from deforming from the weight.
