- CamorhinoExplorerCan't speak for Idaho, but in Utah you can double tow bumper pulls. Nothing scarier than going down I-15 and seeing folks running 70-80 mph with a Chevy Suburban pulling a TT and a big flat bed trailer loaded with 6-8 ATV's pass you. :)

Nice, DJ. Does it have a toyhauler door so you can park the TC or the ATV or the motorcycle inside it?
No, toys go in the truck. - FreeLanceingExplorer IILearn something new every day I guess. Az, Il, Mi, Mn not allowed. The other states allow but there are rules about overall length, brakes, etc. On another site I checked they said Al did not allow. I recall being told not legal in Fl. I guess its a case of plan your route and know the rules in each state.
- Reddog1Explorer IIWhich 4 states require the first to be a 5th wheel?

Sorry, but out of the 39+ states that allow RV doubles, ONLY 4 require the first to be a 5th wheel. All the rest allow bumper pull on the 1st hitch.
Tex; I don't believe you can double tow anywhere unless you have a 5th wheel setup. On a fifth a high percentage of wieght is on the hitch. On a normal bumper pull 10-15% is on the hitch. You add a hitch to the rear and you create a teeter totter effect. I don't know about the mountian west but east of Miss not allowed. I have seen it done but I don't think they got very far. - bka0721Explorer IINow we will have a place to hang when the dust storms roll through Death Valley, next year.
Congrats!
