Dual versus single axle vans
(Preview)
Curious, I have a dual axle 18ft caravan, and must say it's a pain to try and move it around the driveway, duals just dont like to pivot. Starting to wish I'd bought a single axle. What, if any are the major advantages of dual axle, do they tow mores table, or are single axles just fine ?
