Swivelwheel trailer

i have seen a number of these, varied manf styles, but the twin wheel looks to be the best. -interesting link above for a twin wheel, twin dolly set up.-

on the unit, both frame connections must hinge up and down. with no side to side play.

as to the tires... due to there small size i would say keep it under 55 mph. tiny tires will get hot much faster and easier than all the others. keep up on the cold air psi. what is there weight rating? keep the total under 75% of that. are the wheel assemblies sprung? solid?

Both of the swivel wheel trailers that I had with small wheels ran cooler than the fifth wheel bearings.  The only issue I had was when I neglected to do bearing maintenance on a used on I bought.  I ran around 65 mph most of the time, loaded at full capacity on the single wheel version I had, and at about 75% on the double wheeled version.
