About 11 years ago a friend of mine, CDL with Endorsement, and his Buddy, with same CDL etc, went to CA to Pit Crew with another buddy on the NASCAR truck events.
Rod was pulling his Jayco 5'er and his friends Boat! The friend was pulling his 5'er and an enclosed trailer with all the Pit Crew tools!
They were stopped just south of Redding and the Chip asked to see their Licenses. He told Rod to go ahead, but cited his Buddy, because he wasn't towing a BOAT! He then had the Tool Trailer Impounded!
The Race Driver had to go and retrieve the trailer because the Registration was in his name.

Having a class A (with endorsements) and also having many law enforcement highway patrol buddies, its always surprising to see how little an officer knows. :h At least my friends admit that too.

Regarding this situation, there's nothing which states that you can only tow a boat in doubles. Matter of fact, not to throw fuel on the fire but there is also nothing specific in the CA road laws which states only towing doubles with a 5th wheel as the lead hitch. Which means, as strange as it sounds, yes, you can tow double bumper pull hitches in CA.....as long as you have a class A w/endorsement, and you're under weight and length requirements.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!! One other thing, if the boat or what ever other trailer you are pulling is over 1500 lbs it must have breaks on the trailer.
