They are the same width which is the important bit, length is immaterial most of the time.

How much time do you spend reversing ... a couple of minutes each trip ? You can push it and get a hand if necessary.

If you need the length then buy it, its only just over a foot longer at each end

Calseoni,

 If you don't' do reverse ever' i don't think a twin axle is for you ! It takes upto 6 people to manouevre on grass especially if the ground is soft . My old single axle i could shift with just 3 of us . Unless you've got plenty of willing hands to help i'd suggest sticking with a single . The length of the outfit as stated by raymcm is largely unimportant when towing the only time i struggle is reversing it into its storage spot cos there isnt enough room to allow for the full unit length. The problem with the twin is the extra weight & overcoming the tyre friction generated by the twin axle arrangement. Some of the single axle vans are nearly the same length as my twin ( i.e Avondale Dart 556 ) but i must admit i havent seen a single axle van with the same layout as mine (  6 birth with full width rear washroom )

I have no wish to be drawn into a which is better single or twin debate but wish you well whatever you finally decide on .
