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.
Light vehicles/RV are under different rules.
BC does not permit light vehicle double tow.
AB permits with front trailer coupled by a king pin fifth wheel only. No ball couplers.
SK permits ball or fifth wheel lead trailer. It must be 2 or more axles, with brakes on all axles. Lead trailer must weigh more than the back trailer.
Not sure about YT or MB - info is on DMV websites.
Length limits apply. 65ft is common.
Sounds like a fun adventure.
This would only be in Alaska, not towing all the way through Canada.
Ford Expedition - length 18.4' plus about 5' tow bar. Will have to hook up and measure sometime and get the length of trailer with canoe overhange from my buddy in Alaska.
We could put the canoe on top of the Expedition but motor has to come off, which is just a packing problem.
It would be 2 hith balls in this situation.
