Why you don’t double tow with travel trailer

Legal in CA but you need a commercial with double endorsement
In AZ needs to be 5th wheel and no special lic

Yeah we all know that a smart responsible adult would do their homework, but not everyone (I'd dare say most) are not as smart and/or responsible as they should be.

I suspect this is the reason many states ban this kind of setup. Too easy to do it wrong.

I guess I am the only one to notice when following a MH with car trailer or a TT behind any truck that goes left and right at every wiggle from the tow vehicle. Add another trailer and it just gets worse .

Legal in many States and Provinces. Like any double tow correct hitch weight and set up make it possible, safe. Increaed tongue weigh on the first trailer to compensate for the rearward shift of weight caused by the tongue weight of the second trailer. Brakes and sway control bars on both trailers.

That guy did it all wrong.

No provinces in Canada allow double towing with a travel trailer and only a few allow it and the lead trailer must be a fifth wheel.

Did SK change their regulation? Usta be lead trailer must be tandem with brakes on both axles #2 has to be less weight than lead trailer.

Those are also the same guys that think they don’t need a WD hitch because they have a big truck!

Must be the dumber friend of this guy!
