Tandem trailer towing
Can you tow a boat trailer behind a tent trailer?

You "can" but you may not want to. Pop-ups don't weigh very much, compared to a 5er or a TT. They are almost always a single axle, and when you add the weight to the rear of a pop-up, it reduces the weight on the tongue, which causes uncontrollable sway and gyrations back and forth on the trailer. Add the extra length behind the pop-up for a boat trailer (or any kind of trailer), and the rear of the pop-up is now gyrating back and forth, the 2nd trailer will be completely out of control.
I had a pop-up once. Had a hitch installed on the back of the pop up, added 4 bicycles, and almost wrecked the camper it gyrated around so much. I had to travel about 30 mph to keep from wrecking, it WAS that bad. The pop-up was just too light. I took the bicycles off and never put them back on the pop-up again.
I STRONGLY advise against towing behind pop-up! Way too light.
