Do any of these trailers come with a double-axle? From personal experience, I consider this very important. We had a tire blow out on the highway ( a kind of between here and there stretch) and thanks to the double axle, the trailer stayed stable and we were able to limp off at the next exit and make it to a tire shop.

Normally only on a 4 up. No need with a 1 or 2 place.  Just bring a spare.

I have not seen one with this design (fiberglass/composite) with a dual axle.  Some of the more traditionally styled trailers come with dual axles, but only when they get fairly large.

I had one for several years TC.  Single bike size.  It was great.  Pulled it with my little half ton V6 Chevy with no problem other than having to run in 3rd rather than 4th when in the hill.  But the truck goes down the road at like 1500 rpm in 4th so what can one expect?

Trailer and a big dresser are about even in weight.  The trailer suspension worked fine and the flip top is great.  I'd have no second thoughts about getting one again. 

I thought I remembered seeing a picture of yours...it was painted to more or less match your Red Bike?

Was painted to match the red pickup.  Still not sure I should have sold it.  Always got used more for other people's bikes than my own.  I used it more to haul stuff than bikes.  Sold it thinking that a two place trailer made more sense since trips had begun to include the bike and the Bushtec trailer.  So in the event of a breakdown somewhere needed something big enough to carry both home. 

There's still some logic to the idea.  But it's been almost three years and still haven't replaced the trailer.  One time recently could have used it when a throttle cable broke on the red bike.  But that was the only time in three years or a bit more.  So it's not like I'm terribly concerned.  And without it being here all the time it doesn't get borrowed regularly like it used to .
