Why you don’t double tow with travel trailer

Actually a perfect example of why you balance the trailer. The trailer with the vehicle on it is WAAAAY out of balance, causing all the sway, causing the TT to follow it.


Not saying it is smart to do, Just saying poor balance on the following trailer is what caused the sway.

That was horrid. I hope they figured it out and turned the Ute around before continuing.

If set up right it can be safe to double tow ball to ball. This was not set up correctly.

I personally would double tow ball to ball but I would make sure the first trailer was at 20% tongue weight before I added the second trailer. For the second trailer I would shoot for 10-15% tongue weight. I would for sure make sure that the trailer was the right size for the load and would make sure the heaviest part was in front of the trailers axles (plural on purpose)

It’s legal in Tennessee.

Thanks!

Unbelievable.

See it all the time in California, well ones properly set up.

Actually, bumper-pull to pumper-pull is legal in Indiana. I've seen it several times.

And that video is a perfect example that just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

plus the back trailer is only a single axle.

All I can say is WOW!!! Illegal, dangerous and not too smart. I sure hope he was pulled over and nobody was hurt by the ignorance of that person. It was even moving the truck so not sure how the driver didn't know there was a problem let alone looking in the mirror.
