Double towing in GA and FL

Alright everyone, I'm heading to bike week in Daytona and am planning on towing a 6x10 motorcycle trailer with 2 bikes on it. I just want to hear from people that double tow in FL or GA and their experience doing so. Good, bad, got pulled over, never got bothered, how long have you been towing, and if you ever did get pulled over what was the outcome. I know what the law states so I really don't care about a lecture of it not being legal. I've talked to several state patrol in both states and a local cop in my home town and they don't have a problem with it. Thanks in advance everyone!

    If towing a trailer behind the 5th wheel is not legal then look into one of these IDAHO TOTEs which is not considered a trailer.

    These are bolted directy to the rear of the 5th wheel and is considered an extension to the fifth wheel... Their is no trailer hitch or trailer tongue involved etc...



    Check with local state DOT for legal status in the two states you mentioned...

    Just another thought

    Do you care about not being safe?


    Please. No more drama.

    I'd only be concerned about the troopers particularly looking for bike week revenue. That section between Jacksonville and Daytona can be tough with troopers doing their jobs.

    If it's not "safe" why is it legal in other states?
