Towing this type of Car transporter

[Leptons]

What are they like when compared to the type where the bed is lower down and sits between the axles? The laws of physics suggest they should be less stable but are they noticeably so? Every trailer advert I’ve ever looked at says “tows really well” which is not exactly a help. I reckon if it was a one wheeled trailer a thousand feet high the advert would still say that

Obvious benefits I can see is that this type takes up less room and would fit in a garage (possibly).

I dont like these style trailers they have a high centre of gravity the distribution of weight has to be spot on. This style is popular in europe.

I have a tri axle on the 10 inch wheels which does tow very nice what ever I put on it

That's a particularly ugly looking one...

I like this style, and I'm on my second one now. They suit Cumbria as they're no wider than the towcar, so on narrow roads there's plenty of room to squeeze past other vehicles. The wheels-out type I don't think I would even get down the couple of miles long lane to my shed!

I've never towed the lower type so can't comment on how they compare, but I've never felt mine get unstable at sensible speeds. The most recent big trip I did was with a big old leafsprung 4x4 on tall tyres behind my XC70 -possibly a bit overweight and VERY high behind the car, but did 300 odd miles at 50-55mph quite happily.

First trailer was a 20yo PRG beavertail with punched decking, the current one a BORO Jupiter beavertail with full width punched decking and higher profile tyres, so it sits higher. That makes it a lot more work trying to winch anything on.
