There's a difference between "illegal" and "requires endorsement". It is not illegal (as a blanket term) to double tow in FL, but by the letter of the law, you need to have a CDL.
In FL, you cannot "legally" get pulled over for double tow with a RV if that's the only infraction. There has to be some other primary cause for the traffic stop. Of course, it could be an additional infraction or used against you in a court of law in the event something more tragic happens. An LEO in FL cannot assume that you've broken the law simply because you may be double-towing without the proper endorsement. In the same way that a LEO can't pull you over just to check your license.
This is not to condone breaking the law, but just facts that one should be aware of. Don't know about other states, but this is FL ;-). I drive 40k miles a year and see RVers double towing all the time without interference from LEO's.
