own a 5th wheel, thinking of getting a toyhauler but floorplans aren't what I want. still researching.BUT, I have seen many either tow or weld/bolt a trailer to haul a golf cart behind their 5vers. I am NC and thought this was illegal to tow a golf cart trailer behind. (I obviously have to check into this)anyone tow a trailer or welded a trailer to the frame to carry a golf cart? just wondering about this mess. hubby wants a golf cart now and we are thinking of ways to handle this. thanks

Some states allow triple towing (Your TV + Trailer + Trailer). Others do not. Some accomplish having the golf cart by having a toyhauler, others by having a bumper pull and hauling the golf cart in the bed of the truck and unloading after disconnecting the TT. I have not seen a 5th wheel with a rack on the back for a golf cart, only class "A" motorcoaches.It will take a very strong frame and frame mounted system to accomplish what you are looking for. I think it is the most worrisome solution as you likely are going to have to beef up a frame that is/was not designed to handle the stresses of hanging an additional 1000-1500 lbs. off the back of the 5th wheel.I think either of the other two options (Toyhauler or TT with GC in the bed of the truck) is a safer and better solution.

Thanksaround me I have seen a few 5ths with the platform welded to the frame and the golf cart drove into it from the side ramp. I tell hubby, see that!, and he says, ugh, not good. but others are doing it :)probably expensive also in the end.

you can't forget the platform that is hinged with dollie wheels under it so you can backup.

This is from google search... I think this is the IDAHO TOTE.. Some have swival wheels. There is no hitch with this unit It attaches to the rear of the trailer.Some State laws state that if this platform is less than three feet or some number like that it is not considered a trailer.Certainly would check with local DMV to see what the law is for your trailer.Roy Ken

Triple towing is not legal in any of the east coast states along the ocean (don't know about the Idaho totes)........ You do see it some ....... Like anything else some get caught some don't.........I do know in Virginia the trooper will make you disconnect the second trailer & leave it behind.....I could drive with no or expired tags for months & not get caught or get caught the day they ran out.......... Just a matter if you want to follow the law or not and take the chance....... There is a web site with the different laws for towing in each state.
