2 trailers is doubles, 3 trailers is triples and anything above that is considered a train.
See MCA 61-10-104
Montana avoids the double/triple argument very neatly.
The only time the word "double" is mentioned is the definition of "Rocky Mountain doubles" in Para. (5)(e). rocky Mountain double is a truck tractor/long trailer/short trailer.
If you can't agree on what the correct terminology is, just don't use it!
Sure, "tow vehicle/trailer/trailer" is awkward, but there is NO doubt about what is meant.
Unless, of course, you want to get picky about the legal definition of "trailer"! In that case, you would have to say "tow vehicle/towed unit/towed unit".
Ah, well, whatever floats yer boat.
