I apologize for using the acronym LEO. Yes I am a law enforcement officer and know the laws and regulations. My question is about your personal experiences with towing doubles.

The warranty on my trailer has expired and I'm seriously thinking about adding the hitch. I would love to get a toyhauler but if I can avoid it, that would be great.

I recommend you talk to a CHP officer and not the ones in tan uniforms. The dark blue uniform working as a Mobile Road Enforcemen officer or MRE. Your length is one problem. The weight capacity of your kingpin is another. A CDL with T endorsement (double /triple trailer)(12804.9 CVC). Controlled Substance Alcohol Testing or CSAT 34520 CVC). BTW you can't get any endorsement on a non CDL so no double/triple trailer endorsement on non commercial A license. You will need to remove the R on your gear selector cuz backing up will be near impossible. JMHO.

Let's rehash...
OP knows the regs...he's said it twice now.
No need to school him on the regs.
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

I apologize..Just seemed like if he can't get past the regs then he doesn't need info on the hitch. We all know if he gets stopped by a fellow LEO that he would never show his badge to get a free pass. Being in an accident would be another matter. Guess I read too much into this.
