Duals are common because it's cheaper, but many motorhomes are built with single rear wheels. In Europe where Class As are smaller and lighter it's very common. In the US a few were available for years until RVs were made much heavier, and custom off-road motorhomes still use them.
The main size limitation is how much weight the government allows per axle with single tires. But that's in the 20,000 pound range, so not much of a limit for most of us. It can be done but Americans apparently feel safer with DRW.
Regarding size limitations, I'd guess this 4-wheeler has much higher GVWR than an Axis.  |
You're right, of course. I meant buying in the U.S.. We parked in line with one of these behemoths getting on the Alaska ferry from Whittier to Valdez and I want one! A German couple had shipped it over on a ship and spent two months in Alaska traveling the back country. My wife calls them the "garbage truck" RVs. The one we saw had the curved back of a garbage truck. Got a quick tour of the inside and it was beautifully done, albeit with few windows. It would be wonderful in Akaska and northwestern Canada.
