double towing 5th wheel jet ski

Tons of people from out of state double tow in FL. I even know several residents that have with no problem, even passed the FHP and were never stopped.

I pulled a Smart Trailer behind our 5th wheel for a few years and it uses a single receiver to attach a double ball hitch. So you could use it behind the truck too, provided you had a receiver.

However, most states still consider it a trailer and you could still be pulled over for towing doubles in a state where they aren't allowed, e.g., Florida. OTOH I traveled through, and stayed in, several states that don't allow doubles and was never stopped, or asked about it. I've stayed in Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, and traveled through several others. Never Florida though.

I guess it's like Dirty Harry says: "Do you feel lucky?". :)

I have heard both that Florida is strict and not so it is a risk. GA not sure have heard both. I do know that it is not legal in VA NC and SC but have seen it done but that does not mean that that had not received a fine.......

"Dutchman" yes that is somewhat what I am thinking, however I will need to hook it to the truck only to put the ski in the water. I don't see that working.

Based upon the "book", it is not allowed in FL. However I see it done many times there and have discussed it with many people that haven't had issues within Florida.

Thank you!

Well, I double tow w/ a normal trailer for the 'Doo, but haven't been to FLA. I dunno about the legals of it there.

Are you referring to one of these: Click here.

Every state has their own rules, and how much they enforce those rules too.

I do know, in Indiana, the use of the "swivel wheel" trailer is legal, even behind a 5er or a TT. But, because it has a wheel, and the wheel touches the ground, it has to be registered and licensed as a trailer, have it's own license plate, and be equipped with turn signals and brake lights. Because it's under 3000 pounds it does not need a brake.

The carriers that attach to the rear, via a receiver hitch, or even mounted via the frame, does not need any kind of license because it has no wheel that touches the ground.

Like I said, every state has their own peculiar laws. How much one state honors the laws of another state, is really a state-to-state issue. Best to check with DMV or law enforcement of the visiting state.
