Avoid these single tire trailers.
The single tire is on a pivot similar to a caster and over stresses any
mounting hardware you may have for the double tongue.
They are a PITA to couple up, difficult to maneuver since they are FIXED
and extend your vehicle length 8 feet or more.
I've actually used them .......... take my advise until someone else that
has actually used on tells you Stans Nuts.
