California used to be one of the states where you can pull the second unit. It's been about 15 years since I pulled a small sedan behind a 34' 5th wheel but at the time it was legal in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, and Washington. It was illegal in Arizona and Oregon. I think the ticket cost me $65 in 1990. <grin>

V10man they look like a good setup for a 5ver hitch.
California will allow a double hitch with a 5ver but I think that you may have to get a endorsement on your license.
The only western stat that doesn't allow it at all is Washington, Oregon will allow it with a permit that you have to get ahead of time (at least last time I checked).
The biggest thing when pulling doubles is planing ahead

Here's a couple of sites that gives the towing laws, by state.
http://www.boatus.com/towing/towlaw.htm
http://www.hitchemup.com/statetowinglaws.htm
Coglesby, per both of these sites, Texas does not allow double trailers.
