i don't see a problem??? lol. and brian, yes, that is legal from what i have seen anyway. you see rv's with a jeep and boat in tow all the time around here. i guess as long as it is still under registered gvwr it is okay.

you can haul that way but not in all states there is a limet on length. my dad pulled a 5th wheel and his boat but did have to cut a foot off the tong of his boat trailer to be legal

i have considered do ing something like that. only with pickup bed trailers. to haul wood. now that would keep me from cutting for awhile if i filled three pickup beds.

See a lot of that here. 5th wheel trailers on a pickup with a boat in tow behind the 5th wheel trailer. Same as joints, as long as it's not overlength. Don't know the legalities of it with smaller equipment. Back when I had a CDL License, I had the endorsement to pull joints.

I see that often around here, too. Usually it's a 5th wheel trailer in the lead, with a ball mount hitch at the rear. Usually they seem to tow pretty well, but I have seen a couple of them get a little squirrely-looking as they went down the road...weight distribution plays a major role.
Last summer, there was a rig like that that got the wobbles as he came down a mountain decline & ended up running off the road. Killed a couple of his passengers.
Personally, I'd only try that if I had at least a 2-ton truck doing the pulling...something a bit more stable than a 3/4 ton in that situation, I would think.

Well at least that 55 gallons of racing fuel is in a
safe spot!

Hillbilly or not, that black slick hangs the hoops 6 ft in the air.
