I'll second the tandem wheel recommendation.
I've managed to tow on a single axle trailer without brakes,
but it did start swaying once or twice on me when I was
heading down hill. Not pleasant at all. I wished I had
the electric brakes.
But I will heartily recommend a dual axle. Nothing like
experiencing a blow out of a tire on a loaded single axle
trailer at 65 MPH on the freeway in heavy traffic to
convince me to make sure that my next car trailer will
be dual axle... =8-O
By the way, I was limited to the single axle trailer by
the towing limits of the vehicle I had to tow it with
at the time. My truck can handle a heavier trailer now...
