How does that combo weigh anywhere close to 25,000 lbs? Also, I'm farily certain you can't tow doubles in Oregon unless the first trailer is a 5th wheel.
Van on this trip was a bit over 10,000 pounds (it's 8,500 empty). TT = 13,000 loaded. Sleds + trailer ~1,800. I didn't weight the sled trailer, but its galvy, not aluminum. Van and TT have been weighed many times.
No, you can't tow doubles in Oregon non-commercial, even with a 5th wheel. This was in Idaho. For taking sleds around OR I'll either add a hoist, or a drop-down deck over the hood with some extended ramps, and carry them up top. Biggest problem with the ramp idea it traction backup up the ramp. Loading them facing backwards might cause fairings and other body work to come loose. Would be nice if OR and WA would ease up, and realize doubles can be done safely, just like in every other western state.
