Ultra lights are made light by lightening the frame...
Double towing behind an TT is illegal is most areas.
Both trailers need brakes.
You need to plan your route accordingly to not need to back up.
Best answer is to get a toy hauler.
WTH..?? Ultra Lites are usually Aluminum framed...brakes in Texas are only required at 4500 lbs. and I have checked my routes, double or triple tow is perfectly legal. The last I checked it was 29 States...;
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Utah
Just looking for some "Real World Experience" on the Hitch install...
Err... I guess you are welcome.
Double towing behind a 5th wheel is common place. Behind a TT is only legal in a handful of states (if that). Last I checked, BOTH trailers needed brakes, regardless of weight in all of these states.
Besides the legal issues- you assume this setup would tow perfectly? LOL. I'm not even going to attempt to steer you in the right direction anymore.
I do appreciate the input, and I'll have to check the various laws by state. There seems to be no discerning between a 5th wheel and TT, that is that I can find. It would appear that the 5th wheel would be a superior solution under these circumstances and yes the "Ultra Lite" construction methodology may play into the formula as well. I do appologize for my "Curt" response, I was really having a bad night last night.
Thank you again for your input and sharing of your experience and wisdom. Please accept my apology for responding like an idiot...
