Hi folks. Been researching for some time and now am asking for some first hand advice if it is out there on single rear wheel axles. Mainly stability and hub strength. I have a 1982 Toyota Sunrader 18' that is slated for a 4WD conversion. Currently has a foolie. Considering a T100 or Tundra rear semi float for width and the stout diff, but it's still a semi float. Do you have experience with a single wheel rear axle and can comment on stability? How about lessons learned about the semi float hub on a single wheel or full float conversions? Maybe you didn't go the Toyota route but put Dana's in? Before I pull the trigger and drop a single wheel rear axle in I am looking for advice from those behind the wheel of similar rigs. FYI, I am a long time Toyota hobby mechanic but new to RV's. I am probably moving both cab and camper shell over to a 1984 long bed chassis. I have considered and read about full float theory, single spare convenience, diff strength, challenges with conversions to rear disc brakes. I am planning a light build but we all know how that goes. Thanks so much in advance!
