Does anybody have experience with both. What are some of the pros and cons of either. We are looking at 2 different trailers one having a triple axle. We are towing with an excursion V-10.

 

what kind of trailer

more axels=more weight

 

looking at the sandpiper sport 29 foot or 31 foot with pop out, or extreme 27 foot.

 

Depends on where you will be going. I contemplated the purchase of a 3-axle trailer because I frequently go to the sand. More tires = more flotation.

 

We do go to the sand a lot but just curious how the two diff styles drive on the highway?

 

My 3 axle tracks great without any sway & I also pull it with a excursion with no sway bars or eq hitch

 

I have the 2004 sierra 29sp same as the sandpiper 29 ft and it tows great. The tripples are a bit harder to get into tight spots without twisting up the tires. The 29 ft has 16 in wheels and tires to off set the need for tripple 15 in tires. I do like the set up of that new 31 ft but it was not out when I bought mine so I never got to compare the two. I have a buddie with a 30 ft weekend warrior and he says that the back tires wear out quite fast as well. I tow my 29 ft with a F250 V10 with 4.56 gears ( after market) and a superchips microtuner and it does great even though I have 35 in tires on it.

 

You will have less tongue weight with 3 axles.
More brakes with 3 axles.
Better tracking ability


More tires to replace.
Tires scuff more on pavement.
