Looks like you could do just about any route you want.

Terrific. Now if I can find out of my 5er is able to pull a small trailer and 2 Harleys.

Not true for the majority of states that allow double tow.

"You dont need no stinking commercial license"(said in a Tex-Mex accent:) ),not a commercial operation,But you do need your proper DL for your home state.Here in Tx,our home state, IF your COMBINED wieghts exceed 26000lbs you need a non-CDL class A(Tx adopted Fed rules several years back).however even though dbl tow is legal here as long as 65ft max,its the road rules of the state you are passing thru.Lots of threads about some states making rvers drop 3rd vehicle and returning for them.

Thanks folks. I am not a commercial driver and don;t see myself getting a license for that. it would be handy every now and then I suppose though.

Thanks for the link of the double-tow post.

I cannot imagine most LEOs getting bent out of shape about a 5er pulling a small motorcycle trailer. If I had my 5500lb rock crawler behind me on a single axle trailer going over the speed limit I could totally understand. Maybe I chance it.

So if I have to drive through a state that does not allow it then I must reroute thru states that do? Interesting. That sure makes things difficult.

Hi,

You will have to check the overall length limits on the states you plan on towing through.

Then as long as you have a commercial license that says you can tow doubles, and your medical certificate is current, you are good to go. You will also have to keep a logbook while pulling the doubles, just like when driving a commercial truck. Yes even though you are on vacation, and clearly it is not a commercial tow.

Your partner will also need a commercial license if they plan on driving during the vacation too.

Fred.
