I really like the feel of a single-wheel trailer. I have been bombing along on the Marin to grab materials for bags, and most recently carrying bricks in it. Up to 6 bricks/20kg it felt totally okay. That kinda load was a little heavy and would not recommend leaning too heavy or turning too sharp, but basic loads of 10kg weren’t noticeably affecting my handling.
I believe that for the weight penalty of a two-wheel trailer, you get a payoff with stability, but it forces you to steer but not lean.
I’d not want to carry more than necessary anyway. I think the trailer alone is as heavy as all my Berlin bikepacking stuff put together. Horses for courses.

No but if you wanted any opinions, I am really happy with my trailer, am tempted to use it for a tour in the spring/summer. I think it’s either M-Wave or another brand copy of the Bob Yak single wheel. The Chinese one I bought was fine with small loads but fell apart when I used anything too heavy. This one has been more solid and survived around 20kg on bumpy paths so far.
