Double towing can only be done with a commercial class A with double/triple endorsement. Then, the combination can only be 65’ bumper to bumper.
It has been many years since I towed doubles in CA and I wouldn't be surprised if the codes have changed but at the time the local CHP DOT advised that it was legal without a commercial class A. They stated that "passenger vehicles" could not tow more than one item but a pickup was not a "passenger vehicle" based on class and weight. They were adamant that the 65' length would be enforced and that both items in tow needed proper lighting, brakes, safety chains and proper couplers.
Keep in mind at that time there was no talk of FW endorsements, non-commercial licenses and the like. I also posses a commercial class A so that may have played in my favor but no double endorsement. We successfully towed many miles through CA, OR, NV, AZ, NM, and TX with no issues.
