Thanks, good to know. My 5th wheel is also a Cyclone.

The DRW is rated to handle a lot more pin weight. It is rather easy to overload the rear axle or tire ratings on a SRW with a heavy gooseneck.

On a more practical level it is a safety deal. I have blown a rear tire towing a trailer and it is a scary experience. With a heavy load you are more likely to blow a tire and a dually gives you a huge safety factor in this scenario.

 

it's all about the tires and sway in my world
a dually is better for that but not better for the fire roads i camp down

obviously, there are trade offs

Having hauled using both SRW and DRW, I will say the DRW handles loads and swaying much better. But (and there is always a but), it's not very friendly for parallel parking (or just parking in general). 99% of the time, I'm either over the lines or hugging them.

Edit: Two more downsides of DRW: 1) 2 more tires to buy and 2) Rotation and balancing is a PITA as you have to dismount the tires
