Double-towing and the livin's easy

So why do you need that license for double towing? Someone else said something about a class 3. I have been thinking of pulling a trailer with ATV behind my 5th wheel. I would be about 72 feet long but I know other people do it and don't seem to get stopped, but then maybe they don't admit it.

That is the license for California. I think the Class 3 is for Texas

Yup we camp two to three times a year at Park Moabi or more commonly referred to as Pirate's Cove now (Just outside Needles on Ca side).

Nice set up!
Heartland didn't have a factory tow receiver?
Care to post your Scale Numbers?

Heartland did not have a hitch, at least not stout enough or offered on my line.

Last trip when I was full of water, propane, food, and extra gear I weighed 16180 lbs truck and 5'er (5'er = 8660, truck = 7520). I have not scaled my boat, but it is under 5k with trailer. I towed home so I was 1/2 water, no food/fride, and no firewood so I probably lost about 600 lbs of cargo. I estimate I was right at 20k total combined weight.

You may be within all your weight limits BUT did you take an overall length measurement and verify it's legal in the state you'll be towing it?

I am at 67' counting the swimstep, 65' without. The legal length is 65', however there is a lesser section that allows for 75' if both trailers are under 28.5' and has a load extending out past the trailer, which I fall under.
