Caravan & Camper trailer axles, Which is better Round or Square?.

Ah! wondering where you have been.

Nice line that you have 'cast' this time, interesting what sort of fish you 'hook' .

Axle! I replaced my complete braked axle setup on my off road trailer last year, i bought a complete Alko set up with a 50mm square axle,, welding is better on square axles as you can weld across the width of the axle to secure the plate , where as the round can only be welded on a small area, as you can imagine.. Square is stronger as it has 20% more material than the round.. i agree that even the square setup could be improved, its the same system that has been around since the horse and cart!! Almost!!
