double towing 5th wheel jet ski

[benbovac]

I am KY based where double towing is legal. I'm seeking to tow my 5th wheel along with jet ski to Key West Fl area this summer. I understand that double towing is illegal in FL, however I have personally seen it done many times and have spoke to several people that haven't had any issues within Florida.

Is anyone aware of a "swivel type" mount trailer that can be used for such a tow that can still be used to put the craft into water attached to the truck and be legal in such states as Florida?

Thank you.

Well, I double tow w/ a normal trailer for the 'Doo, but haven't been to FLA. I dunno about the legals of it there.

Are you referring to one of these: Click here.

Every state has their own rules, and how much they enforce those rules too.

I do know, in Indiana, the use of the "swivel wheel" trailer is legal, even behind a 5er or a TT. But, because it has a wheel, and the wheel touches the ground, it has to be registered and licensed as a trailer, have it's own license plate, and be equipped with turn signals and brake lights. Because it's under 3000 pounds it does not need a brake.

The carriers that attach to the rear, via a receiver hitch, or even mounted via the frame, does not need any kind of license because it has no wheel that touches the ground.

Like I said, every state has their own peculiar laws. How much one state honors the laws of another state, is really a state-to-state issue. Best to check with DMV or law enforcement of the visiting state.
