Turning you can get dragging
Less snaking though less nose weight

They tow a lot better but you will not man handle them easy so get used to reversing your caravan

Hi, best move i made, Apart from more room inside, It follows behind better and is a lot more stable. Overtaking lorries etc don't move it about with turbulence and i feel they follow better on corners they are also easier to load level. Downside is it's a bit of a pain to man handle and you have two extra tyres to wear out...------------- Doing as little as possible for as much as possible...

we have just moved up from a single to a twin axle and cant fault it. with the single (hubby towed it) it didnt feel steady and didnt feel stable at all.
but now we have the twin axle i can tow it and it is so steady when being towed and doesnt get rocked like a single when being passed by a lorry. we have a motor mover to help move ours because hubby cannot move it on his own.

No problem with towing. Very stable and of course a lot more room inside.
The downside is manouvering. Suggest you get a mover. The other problem is levelling. They definitely are not as easy.

Agree with all the above comments we changed last Year and Hubby says it is so much easier to tow, it feels very stable so you tend to get a more comfy journey, as others have said difficult to manhandle though we have a motor mover so no probs well worth having.

You might be refused access to a site if you tow with a van.
We have not had a problem

If you turn-up at a site with a twin-axle, looking like a wandering tribesman, with your Transit's diesel engine clattering away, then you may well be refused entry.
But arrive looking like a bona fide caravanner and you'll have no problem.------------- David.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!
