Is this legal?
Of course I would never try this buti was curious ..is it legal to have passengers riding in a TT while towing it?

Many TTs and 5ers don't have shocks, since they're not meant to be ridden in on the road. A mile or so would soon tell you if it's feasible. From what we've heard, it's so uncomfortable, there's no way you'd want to do it.
Slide-in truck campers is a different story, because they're on a vehicle with shocks. Even still, riding in them is unsafe.
We saw the aftermath of a wreck in US2 near Leavenworth, WA a couple of decades ago. An F-350 with about a 12' camper was travelling east. Three kids were on the over-cab bed, looking out of the front window. A couple of deer ran into the road from the right and Dad (the driver of the truck) swerved to avoid them. When he over-corrected for the effects of the swerve, the rig toppled over onto the driver's side, with the upper part of the camper across the center-line. An 18-wheeler headed west hit the camper, right where the kids were riding. All three were killed. Mom and Dad survived the crash because the pick-up's cab was still in the eastbound lane and the 18-wheeler missed it.
