People - read your state statutes before replying. It's obvious from a couple of responses the people don't have a clue what they're talking about.
It's going to vary from state to state. Some states it will be legal, other states not. All the state statutes can be found at the Library of Congress website where a person can look up the statutes for their state. Library of Congress Just remember to do a complete research and not stop with the first statute that agrees with what you want the law to say. There are often exceptions and specific statutes covering RVs.
It doesn't matter if a person stays on the interstate. "Having no personal experience" is obvious. State laws control traffic movement and laws even on the interstates. Think about it. What's the speed limit on the interstate? It varies by state because the individual states set the laws.
In IL double towing a car behind a 5er is an illegal combination. The only thing that can be towed behind a 5er is a boat, ATV, personal watercraft, or motorcycle.
Here's IL's applicable statute. See how easy it is to look up the statute and quote the applicable section instead of guessing and giving wrong info?
625 ILCS 5/15-107(a)(2)(c)(5)
(D) The third vehicle must be the lightest of the 3 vehicles and be a trailer or semitrailer designed or used for transporting a boat, all-terrain vehicle, personal watercraft, or motorcycle.
