Recently I went camping on the delaware river and a lot of people had there boat and camper when I asked how they did it I got two answers either two trucks or they leave the camper there all season
But since I can't do neither I wanna know if I can pull my friends 19' boat (or mine if wife let's me get one) on the back of my 28' camper I've seen it online done with 5th wheel and boat combo and understand that every state has difrent laws but since I have my doubles and tripples on my cdl can't I do it on a smaller scale

 

Check you local laws, but in most states you can tow two trailers as long as they meet a few requirements.

Usually the trailer attached to the truck MUST be a fifth wheel camper.

Also, usually the second trailer must also be for recreational use. Boat, ATVs, Snowmobiles, etc.

Also, most states have a length limit.

No CDL of any kind needed as long as everything is for recreational use.

 

Bingo!!
Thats pretty much what I came up with during my search a few months ago. Here in Calif. you have to stay under 65` and first trailer is a fiver. Better plan your route and turns in advance so you dont go OOPS

 

Problem is i have a hitch trailer no 5er

Then you most likely can't do it. Again, check your local laws, but I don't think any states allow this to be done with a regular travel trailer, only a fifth wheel.

 

Here's a pic of a fifth wheel setup with a second trailer. Not mine, I just pulled this from an ATV site that I'm a member on.

 

I looked into the same thing. I could not find any state that will allow you to double the trailers. The first one must always be a fifth wheel then a trailer behind that. All states had length limits too with them all being different, in MI must be under 65' feet including truck and both trailers. I did not see anything about having to have a CDL either.

you can always pull into a highway patrol weigh station and ask. Considering they are the ones who would be pulling you over

 

The town where I do my shopping is the first town you get to when coming into this part of Oregon from both California and Nevada. I've seen two double trailers stopped by the OSP or the Sheriff in town in the last few months. You gotta know the laws of ALL the states you might want to go through.

 

Should be able to check with your local laws online. My state allows two trailers with a few guidelines. I pay $25 a year for a permit and away I go.

 

Thanks. Nice to see somebody do it the way i want to ill check the legals monday.but hows it ride do you get alot of sway

 

I'll have to check if that's allowed over here in MN, but I don't think it is. I don't really want some me huge fifth wheel camper, but it would be nice to be able to pull my ATVs behind a smaller camper.

 

I was checking California law few years back and it never said that the first trailer needs to be 5th wheel. All it took for RV use was show up at DMV with double trailers for the exam.
