Can I use a WDH on a DP
I tow a 22' enclosed trailer behind the DP in my signature. It has a 10,000 lb hitch with a 1000 lb tongue weight capacity. I have been hauling a UTV weighing 1100 lbs in the front and a 3200 lb...

When all else fails .... CLICK TRAILER TOAD
I don't know what the rear axle weight is. I think the max is 18,000. We usually travel with only about 50 gallons of water and empty holding tanks so I haven't been concerned with rear axle weight, but I should get it weighed to be sure.
I looked at Trailer Toad. This set-up uses two receivers and two trailer balls. Wouldn't this be considered double-towing?
Well, my hitch weight is 1500#, but it just so happens that my rear axle weight is a little over max already, so that part is now out of the picture.
With this TRAILER TOAD, there is no weight on the Coach hitch, as it's all on this little toad. We tow four down, but if I was in need, this would work and have seen them used in pulling some huge enclosed trailers. Again, in my case, I have 15K towing capacity, so that's a good bit and there's no reason I can't pull that amount anywhere, with one of these.
