LOL, well that might work.

It might. It also might work for turning a summary traffic citation into a Felony if you run into Buford T Justice LOL.

FWIW we traveled for a couple years pulling a swivelwheel-type trailer carrying out motorcycles, behind our 35' 5th wheel. We traveled through several states that didn't allow double towing and were never given a second glance. I always figured the confusion of the swivelwheel-type trailer made them just look the other way. It is the best way to travel with a second trailer because you have no issues with backing up.

It worked well for a couple years, but we went to a toyhauler just because it was less of a hassle. YMMV

But that video really doesn't mean squat if you get stopped. He does it, but that is absolutely no guarantee that you can get away with it. Just have a game plan in case you do get stopped, and I don't think showing that video will count for much. :)

My game plan is a $100 bill :B

I double tow a little over length and so far haven't been ticketed. When I'm double towing I'm usually not terribly far from home so I could drop the back trailer and come back for it in the event I get pulled over by an unreasonable law officer.

This is pretty much what I have heard from others, I figure as long as I am driving safe and not changing lanes than there should be no issues.

For me personally i would never tow two couplers like pictured above. That MH in the wind will have a hard time by it's self staying in it's own lane!

I think I am about the same length but with the 5er and ball connection my setup is FAR more stable going down the road even in high winds.

I have flat towed in the wind and my truck never swayed like a trailer does, however I have not done it with the truck and boat yet, I suspect no issues however I don't drive when the wind when its pushing me around, I take a break and let the wind calm down or I just drive slower.
