5th wheel pulling a jeep!

I was on vacation traveling to Colorado from NJ on I80 in Nebraska, when in the east bound lane was a Med duty truck pulling a nice Hi-Line 5th wheel and behind that was a Jeep in tow. It all happened so fast for we were traveling in oppsite directions. Now I understand that most Hi-Line 5ers have a strong frame, but to take the stresses exerted towing a 3500lb jeep is something special in my book. I tried looking up info on this large of a double tamdem towing in search but found nothing..

    Saw several Jeeps being towed when in AZ. One of my friends tows a Wrangler behind his Carraige. Says it's not a big deal...I'd do it with the right truck and trailer as long as it's legal...

    Recently at a nice RV park and a guy with a Ford F450 pulling a large Teton 5th Wheel and then on the back of the trailer was about an 18ft boat.
    Can't imagine pulling or manuvering all of that. Boat was too big to move by hand so must be a hassel to launch and then rehook to tow.
