We all have had that occasion, that maybe a higher power was looking out for us. In the pics above 12V certainly is an example. The good pics make a great safety public service awareness for anyone towing, especially double towing, to show the added force applied to second trailer.
Bionic Man makes a good point, as to why the added stress to second trailer attachment. My factory receiver on back of FW, like many, states 300 hitch wt, 3,000 trailer wt. Mine is well designed, heavy steel tubing, frame rail to rail, and to look, you'd say it would handle much more than the CYA specs.
When you amplify that 300 lbs, with the whip/bounce, up/down action of a dip in the road, going over a bridge, anything that feels like a speed bump, the stress of 300 lbs dead weight is much higher. It is the same reason many lose their bicycles mounted on the rear.
Anyway glad Cummins12V98 had a safe trip! Yes, just having a co-pilot to talk with, to keep you awake/alert is helpful, when towing long distance.
