    is it easier to turn corners with double 28.5ft trailers than a single 53ft trailer?

    Yep after pulling them for a year I couldnt go back to pulling a van. Drive it like you have one pup and youll be fine

    The tail doesnt follow the lead exactly, obviously taking turns like you have one pup wont leave you enough room.

    But from the way they bend in the middle, they turn much better than a longbox.
