Dangerous thing - I got to thinking in relation to a recent thread about large caravans of 3.5t and specifically their towball weight and dynamic instability. Is there any reason why there are no articulated caravans, much like a dog-trailer?

Pros - no towball weight as all the weight is carried by it's axles.
More stable as the axles are at either end instead of the middle.
Better braking as on normal trailers the drawbar tends to nosedive under braking.
Better approach/departure angles.
Cons - many people wouldnt be able to reverse it.

Might be a dumb question but hey...
