Pulling A Train

People do it, but I can tell you a friend had a bad experience on the interstate with passing semis that caused sway he could not get out of and there was a bad wreck. Luckily him and his wife walked away from the accident.

Safety would depend on your tow vehicle and towing equipment.

Is the camper a fifth wheel?

You will probably be over length.

Is triple towing allowed in your area or the area you will be traveling?

I dont own one yet, but it could be , if safer. Tony B

You will probably be over length.
Is there a nation wide standard max. length?

I wasn't aware that this is a state to state type law. I thought there would be a national standard. Tony B

Looks like this idea may not be practical. Tony B

I believe most states require the first towed vehicle to be a fifth wheel.
Most consider a fifth wheel easier to tow.

The length is set by the state. It's usually about 65'. Some more, some less.

Triple towing is also decided by the state.

You may be limited to a truck camper and tow the pontoon.
That's not the end of the world. :)

Yes, a rethink... at best.

over length

I think 15 states permits a pickup with a 5th wheel and a trailer.. but the numbers make it over limit on length .. if your state permits this idea.

and remember the old tail,, the tail waging the dog... 2 flex points/hitches.

my truck and travel trailer (30 feet) is almost 55 feet.. and is longer then some semi-truck-trailers.

TonnyB,

I don't think it is legal to double tow in Al. I do know that it is legal in Ms. Tn. La. Ar. Tx. & most states west of the Ms river with Or. being the only one I know of that it is not legal and most require the first trailer to be a fifth wheel. Hope this helps.

PS This is for recreational towing.

It's illegal in WA for recreational towing, unless you have an out-of-state licence plate and are a tourist. Triple commercial truck/trailer rigs are allowed, but only on freeways.

I use to pull a 22' TT with a 17' bass boat behind it with a Ford 150. It had a Hemi in it. Total length was right at 65'

When I got much over 55 MPH I could check the tires on the boat trailer on both sides. :)
For some reason it always made my passenger try to get a hand grip on the dash when that happened. :)
