Hedge is right I do have an original (1986) Load Rite trailer...model # is long gone but I believe it is this one from their website:
http://www.loadrite.com/GalvanizedTr...ler-Single.php 21360096RTB 3,600 19' 9" 17' 6" 191 1 ST225/15D 95" 77" 23' 24 It seems according to the website it comes standard with Load Range D tires but mine had Load Range C when I changed them before our SC trip .... HUGE difference in the D vs C....filled those babies up to 65 PSI and it was rock solid back there. If I was a regular long hauler I would rather have a dual axle but the single is working just fine for me especially after all the damn money i spent with new brakes, actuator, and rollers and assorted hardware. Heres som pics of the rehab....without a doubt one of the most labor intensive things I have ever done.

Rob, my bet is a single is gonna allow the tow vehicle better fuel economy than a tandem...

I would get the second axle if I was you. Even with the extra heavy duty single axle it is carrying a real heavy load. They trailer so much better on two axles. And if something was to happen you still have an extra axle that can support the whole load. My tandem which was not in the best shape when I got the boat (serious lack of maintenance) has gotten us back after a couple of unfortunate issues that where no fault of my own. I have steadily been repairing it to get another couple of years out of it. You just never know what can happen.

I bought a load rite but had the get it adjusted the wheels kept riding on the chines I think I had to move the rollers closer to the belly of my boat but I got a mech, toadjust it and 100 dollars later I hope it is right. I am going to junk my 1978 trailer and it's breaking my heart
