Here goes

I just bought a 20` 5er to haul around and I have a s/b sc diesel. Small trailer but exactly what I need for the desert. How do I go about hooking up a hitch (bumper pull) on the back of the trailer. I have a flatbed (alum) trailerthat I want to pull behind as well (12 ft)
Wiring as well? pull off rear lites?
Thanks
Hanklin

Contact the manufacturer of that 5er for advice before you try to install a hitch; also see the post "RV Bumper Hitch's - Be Aware" from yesterday.

Find you a good local machine/welding shop that has experience in these setups...it really is not that hard...if you have not a 4 season trailer...then it gets tricky.

You might want to check to see if it is legal to triple-tow, where you are and where you want to go.
