We were never stopped when we traveled and we went through, and stayed in, several states that don't allow double towing. Personally I think it was because the swivel-wheel type trailers are a bit confusing regulation-wise and LEO's just don't want to hassle with them. Dunno.
I used a regular fold up ramp to load and unload, and it was never any problem. The swivel wheel trailers are not as expensive as an Idaho Tote, but still not cheap.
Good luck.
