If you are taking a ferry from WA to AK disregard this Canada info:
When checking for info don’t mix light duty / RV regs with commercial vehicle regulation.
SK province operates 3 x 53ft trailer road train combinations on certain roads and 2x53ft trailer trucks and double semi-trailers (140,000lbs Super B) are common in western Canada.

BC does not permit light vehicle double tow.
AB permits with front trailer coupled by a king pin fifth wheel only. No ball couplers.

Length limits apply. 65ft is common.
Sounds like a fun adventure.
