    I own a set of both. Haven't used the singles much. Was absolutely amazed first time I used the triples in snow how much I could get threw. I made a hanger on the trailer so they will be much easier to break out when needed. I don't think triples are harder to put on, just harder to handle. Having g a place to hang them rather than in a pile in a side box will make a huge difference

    I’ve never used triples. Do they have cams on both rails?

    I saw a video on YouTube where they did have cams on both sides.

    Yes. The two outer rails are identical.
