It does not list Ontario as a province that allows triple towing. I know that you can here.

Thank you for the link though.

The majority of the USA does not allow double towing.

I would simply call the states you plan on towing through to see if it is allowed. I towed a jet ski behind my TT. Instead of opinion I would get facts.

You really need to check state by state in the US. Last I looked, 28 states allow towing two trailers, and I have done it for years in the western states, although I'm not sure if I'll add a hitch to the back of my new 5er or not.

Unfortunately, the rules aren't consistent here in the lower 48. Some states only allow two trailers if one is a fifth wheel. It varies on whether or not trailer brakes are required based on weight of trailer, and the total allowable weight varies. Also, if one hitch is a gooseneck it even varies there as to whether or not safety chains are required. While you're checking on trailer laws you can also see if you can right turn on red, see if speed limits are different when you're towing a trailer etc... We don't necessarily make it easy to know what the rules are so that you can follow them.

FALSE. Last I looked, over 35 states allow it. That said, many of the Eastern states do not allow it.

OP, tandem towing is about as controversial on this forum as which brand or truck or oil is best.

Also, I would not trust many of the online resources in regard to this. Gotta decide which states you want to travel to, and research yourself.

Most of the north east is out, most of the west is in, hit or miss up the middle. Almost all states require more then a basic car license, California for example requires a Class A with doubles endorcement, IIRC Florida only requires a car license..

RV double towing is allowed on selected highways in Alberta, in B.C. it is not.

It is no longer legal to tow two trailers in Ontario, only commercial operators are permitted to do so.
Not sure when this was changed.

I don't know of a state other than CA that requires "more than a basic car license". I certainly can't speak for all states, but the ones I am familiar with and have towed through (CO, UT, WY, MT, ID, NE, KS, MO, NM) only require a basic drivers license.
