[Twin Axle vs Tri Axle Trailer ?]

Have 3 axle and it has been everywhere with too many things..

Before going the Brian James route, have you checked the Numax / Hulco / Anssems etc. ones that are made across the North Sea ?

Could be interesting given the pound versus €€ etc.

I did have a look at some of the German ones, have to say, some very impressive units..!
These units look incredible! Good axle and suspension technology, but very expensive but seem to be worth it. I'll maybe look at these in a couple of years when I can hopefully afford them.

[Twin Axle vs Tri Axle Trailer ?]

When i put this post up years ago it was my RR P38, so what's that about a 110 ?

I still prefer towing my tri axle now with the truck. This has a 156" wheelbase i think.

How have you found the towing when empty? You mentioned a while back that the trailer bounced around like a goodun! Is that the same or have you found a solution?

FYI - I'm in the process of getting the 230-6552 T6 trailer, Tilt Lift with the full-width rear tail panel. Did consider the 230-5452

[trailer insurance]

Have you managed to secure Trailer Insurance?

I have been trying, and it has proven to be very difficult indeed.

NFU will only insure as part of a vehicle & trailer combo. Trawling through Google hasn't proven to get any good results either.
I did have promise with Towergate Insurance and I think @HPLP may find that they are worth a call if you're still looking. They couldn't insure me however because the vehicle could be seen on the trailer (FYI - It's a car transport trailer!) but I thin it may be because it was for commercial use.

Do let me know if you manage.

[Twin Axle vs Tri Axle Trailer ?]

I know this post is from a while back and I don't mean to start up the whole debate as such.

 

But I'm in the middle of ordering a Transport Trailer, having narrowed it down to a Brian James Trailer.

I appreciate it's not necessarily Land Rover related but I trust there will be more experienced trailers users here than anywhere else.

 

The dilemma is as before, Twin or Triple Axle???

 

It has been suggested that the triple is much more stable when towing heavy weight, it has also been suggested that it is, in fact, easier to manoeuvre with a triple (Not that twin is difficult) which is contrary to some previous comments, it has been noted, however, that triples do tend to scrub tyres much quicker. 

 

These are the trailers that I've narrowed down to. (FYI - The largest vehicle I'll be carrying is a Range Rover, but mostly Audi,s BMW's and Discovery Sports )

FYI - The wheels are 10" on triple and 12" on the twin if that makes a difference
