An area of concern to me would be one I haven't seen mentioned on here and that's the pin box area of your fiver. Adding the leverage stress of pulling and stopping the combined weight of two trailers with 6k additional yanking on your pinbox is not something to ignore.
Consider carefully how that additional load from any angles it might be expected to impart to the rear of your fiver and what that translates to way up front on the pinbox, a notoriously problematic area if not thick stock and welded correctly.
Yes that is exactly right. I will keep doing research to figure that out. I asked Northwood if they had the structural drawings that I can look at but they said no. I doubt they don't have a structural drawing of the trailers, so i'm just guessing that they don't want to hand them out to people.
