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.
