Who tows two trailers?

I saw a superduty this morning pulling a 5th wheel toy hauler and a trailer with jet skis.
Man did it look cool!
If you pull two trailers post some pics.
Also, what is the hardest part?
Hooking up the second one?
Fueling?

........................Yea,they do that out west in place's,better check with any state's you go through ,here in florida pulling "non commercial" dubble's will get you a "BIG' ticket,had a guy come in our rv park that got pulled over 2 time's on I-10 in 150 mile's with a motorcycle behind his 5th wheel,he showed the second officer the 1st ticket and he let him go,the oddest one i'v seen was a tripple,a 45 ft MH pulling a 4 door chevy dullie pulling a 24-28 ft utillity trailor.

It's legal here in Missouri to pull 2 trailers, most of the time it'll be a 5th wheel with a small boat or jet ski behind.
I pull 2 trailer's ( 2 x 28' freight pups.) everynight, but not with my superduty, but with a Volvo VN, painted the most awfull colour of orange you have ever seen. At least that orange truck pays the bill's.

I pull 2 sometimes A boat & 2 jet skis behind it. it pulls reall good you just have to remember them in those tight construction zones because when you move the wheel a little bit its exaggerated by the 2nd trailer & moves quite abit. ive backed into the water to drop the jetskis fully hooked up but it can be tedius.im getting ready to put a hitch on my 5th wheel camper next. he`s right about state laws they vary some allow it & some dont & some require a cdl with doubles endoresment.

This isnt the best pic, but it is the way I go to the lake on the weekends. Only about a 80 mile trip each way. Pulls great no issues at all!

Now thats the way to go. The boat and the trailer. I might have to lower my truck so I can tow a gooseneck or 5er.

I pull a small 5th wheel and a boat often. It's legal in Montana but not all states. My brother in Minn. gets pissed every time I talk about it because he can't. I drive a little slower with 2 trailers and I can't back up more than a couple of feet without taking off the back trailer.

No, we go to Tongue River Res. most of the time, although Yellowtail is great, and 40 miles closer. It is just more fun to be able to camp out right at the lake with your boat tied off.

buddy of mine does with his travel trailer and boat. his boat is much smaller than his lead trailer, and it is not very large either.

Not legal in any state. The first trailer must be a gooseneck/fifth wheel, usually just fifth wheel.

I think I'd avoid using a gooseneck adapter on a fifth wheel in a tandem rig too. I never did like those things to begin with.

I would like to try a trailer with a jap jeep (Suzuki Samurai 2200 lbs) on it behind a 18 ft camp trailer (3800 lbs). I wonder if I should equalize the first or second trailer? This might be some trial and error.
