I was stopped in Ca in the late 90's towing a 2nd trailer behind my fifth wheel. I had been in Ca for a week and even passed a CHP at one point going 70 mph but was almost back to Nv when i was stopped. I showed the officer the endorsement on my dl and all he kept saying was i cant believe this is legal. He had just called his supervisor when someone pulled up and said there was a car on its top down the road so he took off. So Did I, so i never found out what the outcome would have been. I was well over 70 ft long back then.
I do know the California law from those days as those were my traffic enforcement days. The California law at that time allowed double towing, only behind a 5th wheel and only if the second trailer was a boat. I have no idea why it specified it had to be a boat, but it did. Then there were all the length restrictions and safety chains and all the usual stuff. I think back in that time Oregon also allowed it, because usually the only ones I saw towing that way had Oregon plates on the vehicles.
