Fifth wheel shopping question, rear tow hitch
I'm starting to research fifth wheel trailers in search of our first camper. I have a 2016 dually for a tow vehicle, so size isn't a big deal. It's only me, my wife and 2 dogs. My big question ...

I see you are from Texas. Before engaging any further, you should check out the laws in your state pertaining to double towing and your overall vehicle length.
In Texas, the total length you can be is 65 feet. And Texas does not allow double tow.
Check it out yourself:
Apparently, you have not spent much time in Texas. Yes 65' is the limit ;) but pulling a trailer/boat behind a 5W in Texas is a common.
I've done it for the last 14yrs, from NW MO to the RGV and back.
Yeah ...every clicky I've seen has my state and others with incorrect information regarding combinations...any way Texas like my state can legally tow doubles (three vehicle combinations).
Texas Vehicle Combinations
(snip)
A combination of not more than three vehicles, may be coupled together if the combination of vehicles, other than a truck-tractor combination, is not longer than 65 feet.
We towed doubles (trailer + fishing boat) all over TX in the '60s/'70s and '80s.
