Hello Everyone. I'm new to the Forums. This will actually be my first post. I'm from Florida originally and hadn't seen anything other than commercial trucks towing double till I got stationed in Cali a couple years ago. Since then we picked up a 37' 5th wheel toy hauler triple axle and a 15' open tandem axle utility trailer. I'm towing with a 2003 F250 7.3L super cab long bed that's mostly stock (for now).
I've put a lot of work into setting my rig up to safely tow double. I've done a lot of custom electrical work in addition to the physical hitch on the back of the camper.
The truck has two separate brake controllers and I set up a set of relays that are triggered by the OEM trailer wires. I used an aero space style cannon plug to run two sets of 7-way electrical connections between the truck and camper. Also added dedicated side turn signals, a manually switched hot, and a spare 12VDC hot.
Once I set up an account somewhere to host pictures I'll upload a few of my rig and build. If there is a better thread to post more build details on please let me know.
Sounds like a cool build! I'd like to see more details on what all you've done.
Yes me too!!
