well Eddie, If you can supply something to show that.... I only was able to quote the above because that is all I found...
I did find some online chats from several forums that state if the 1st trailer is a Fifth Wheel or Goose Neck and UNDER 28', you can double tow... BUT, that came from just another forum with nothing to back it up...
Best for someone wanting to do so to call the states DMV and find out for sure

Ron, that is considered "double tow" and I know that anywhere in the EAST that is NOT permitted..
Quote - "In general, you'll find that every state along the Atlantic Coast bans double towing except for Maryland. Hawaii, Washington and Oregon also make it illegal to double tow"
That's why folks look for the swivel wheel trailer.... That is NOT considered a double tow. I believe ?? Someone here will correct me if I am wrong.....

On edit, It LOOKS like it will depend on how you want to interpret the local state laws -
quote -"A frequent question asked is if the Swivelwheel system is legal to tow in all states. There are basically 22 states that do not allow double trailer towing, some of them call it triple towing. We consider the system an extension of the Fifth wheel or motor home. (Not a Trailer).
Although we do not agree, The State of New York has decided to re-class our swivelwheel system therefore, it could fall under the double/triple towing law.
A trailer is classified by a ball mount, our Swivelwheel system does not utilize a ball mount. There are other classifications but the Swivelwheel just does not meet them. For more information please call our toll free # 1-866-794-8357 or Email: info@cruiserlift.com.

In 2016 when I purchased my first road bike I was in SoCal. I paid $500 to transport it to WA that Spring. Then when heading South that fall from WA I paid $500 to ship it back South. Seeing how expensive this would become over time I purchased my Kendon and have double towed both ways twice a year since then. This trip South will be my 5th year double towing the West placing $5,000 in my pocket minus the Kendon and its insurance and licensing every year.
As you say Jerry I have a plan and I am ready to pay if needed. But so far not one time have I ever been given a second look. I do tow at the posted limit and stay in the right lanes.
I consider this a risk reward system. Fingers crossed!!!

The OP has a nice FW, that he's not likely to change out. The OP is in Minnesota, lots of double towing, all over the midwest!
As with anytime, if you are stretching the law, you need to have a plan, which also includes being prepared to PAY the consequences! I stretch, kinda make my own rules sometimes, too many to mention, but I figure when I encounter that one grumpy old cop, OK YOU GOT ME, do what ya gotta do.
You say, "what if we were all like that"?? Well thankfully we aren't! ๐

FWIW, I traveled through, and stayed in, several eastern states including Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Georgia pulling a Smart Trailer, which is a swivelwheel-type trailer. I was never given so much as a second glance in any of those states, or any others AFATG. Of course, YMMV.
I moved to using a toyhauler about 10 years ago, and haven't looked back.
I agree, and FWIW, I would also not hesitate BUT . . . There is always that 1 super cop that needs to show his intelligence of the law. . . I had one of those a few years back while towing my fiver around DC...
