Two trailers at once?

I was wondering if anybody was
towing a fifth wheel and a trailer (standard class 3 or 4 hitch)
together?
What are the rules and regulations?
Im in Arizona and motor vehicle dept. has very little to
say.
I know I should'nt exceed my GCWR, and brake requirements
for each trailer.
But what about license requirements?
Any info would help.
Thanks in advance.

Try this link...

http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm

It looks like in Az the trailer hitched to the tow vehicle MUST be a 5'r.

There is a 'tab' at the bottom for FOOTNOTES...so you have to click that to see the footnote 43 for Az 'triple tow'

Hope this helps...This topic usually has two distinct 'sides'...I'm neutral

joe.

No problem...glad I could help...

With all info gotten from the internet though...I'd call the state police in your state now that you have what you 'think' are the laws for Az and make sure they agree!

Good luck,
joe.

Check the states that you are going TO and THROUGH. Just because you are legal in AZ, doesn't mean you are legal everywhere you go. If you go east of the Mississippi, you will be illegal (and an easy target) in most states except TN.
