Cool

NOT to steal Spares thunder. Just to compliment it. Single axle trailers are very capable of towing our V's around. I used to make the trip from my aunts home in Fla to my house in NJ twice a year (1600 miles each way) with the V sitting on a single axle trailer. You just need one that's big enough to handle the length and the weight of a V. Yes, I got a dual axle trailer because I like the extra set of axles and yes, my single axle is for sale locally also, but I'm pretty sure I have a buyer for it already. In all cases, my point was that a single axle going 5 miles won't even break a sweat. Just make sure you have a spare tire and a spare set of bearings (recommended for ANY trailer) and you'll be fine.

V20's are right at the edge of needing a tandem, You can run a single with no issue, but a tandem is insurance. At the time I bought my V, I was using a 96 Jeep Cherokee as my tow rig. I didn't like the idea of having a blow out on the V towing with that small of a vehicle, even though the jeep was rated for far more towing than the V weighed. Now I have a 1 ton diesel van, a diesel dually, and choice of two Suburbans(one still for sale) to tow with. I could tow it even if I didn't have any tires on it now
