I'll chime in with a couple ideas:
First, I agree that double axle is a must. Not only for the safety factor, but also much more stable to work in - no "seesaw effect" as you move from front to back.
Secondly, I'll go against the grain and say that bigger is NOT always better. Don't forget that there is a price to pay for those big shiny rigs beyond the purchase cost. Will you be paying an extra fee for oversize space at comps? Once you trick it out with all those electric features you've always wanted, will there be another fee for upraded power at comps? How much more fuel will it take to get there, and will that limit the events you can attend when fuel tops $5 a gallon? Finally, do you have a tow vehicle capable of safely pulling the loaded rig?
If you have unlimited money and tow capacity, definitely go for it. On the other hand if you are like many of us with limited resources, consider all the factors before you buy.
