[Rhodes22-list] Single or double axle?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Frank,

I use both, the tandem axle for additional ease in the event of a flat tire on the interstate.  My current choice would be for a single axle with G78 or larger tires.  It is much easier for use on the road and on the ramps.  Call me if you want to bounce some thoughts.
