Didn't we talk about this?

I think I remember someone talking about towing a TT then towing a Jeep or another vehicle. Just found this picture. Click image for larger version

Looks like he is trying to figure out how to get backed up to the pontoon boat.

I'd steer clear of this ASAP.

Can't do it in most states. Might tow OK, but just because one can do something, doesn't mean one should.

I love that guy. Shows he's up for anything. Too many rules anyway, I say go for it.

Looks like Texas. Just read where it is legal in Texas as long as both trailers have brakes.

Illinois allows it but there is a limit to the overall length. Off-hand I don't know what that limit is. Last summer I camped (in Illinois) next to a guy who pulled a fifth wheel with an 18' boat behind it.


I've also seen jet skis behind a travel trailer while driving on the highway. If you are going to do it, the smaller the third towed item is the better I would think!

Alot of states don't allow others will let you go. If you have an accident it's hell to pay.

Like others said, it's legal in some states, not in others. Check towing regs for any state you're traveling to or through. I've done it in Texas with a pickup towing a Jeep and a utility trailer, but de finely not legal in FL, where I live now.

I wanted to try to get the golf cart behind the TT, not allowed in N.C. no triple tows. Any tow, 65' max. For about 10 years I towed a 32' car trailer with a 36' motor home. Including tongue length, 70' over all. A bitch to get in and out of some truck stops. Backed it a 1/4 mile back up a highway to a side road to turn around in Ohio because of a flooded bridge. Glad that's all over now. Just a F-150 and a TT. Life is much simpler.

Not sure what they cost, but there is a place that sells a rack to carry your golf cart that mounts on the rear of the TT. That makes it legal. I can try to find the manufacturer's name if you're interested.

I'd advise against this.

Idaho Tote and in some states their use/legality is still murky, at best.

Golf cart weighs 750#, trailer thing 200#(?) un-sprung weight. 950#/2= 475# added to trailer behind axle. Don't think mine will support it. O' add 50# for frame supports added.
