They said the bumper pull to a bumper pull trailer configuration was completely fine but needs to be under 65'.
so at the same time I want to strangle you turbo I want to shake your hand...

Here is a link that publishes established towing regulations for each state. This may aid as a reference.

No such thing as a, "Secondary State Trooper" in Nebraska. Where did that come from?

Somehow, I think a trailer (even an 800 pound Jetski) will put more stress on that bumper than the tire. Good luck and I hope your insurance covers the loss and liability IF that bumper tears away with no warning.
Forest Gump had it right.

I just got a new neighbor at our lake camp ground last night. When I was talking to him about his 40'Cardinal 5er, he stated that sometimes he pulls a pontoon behind it. And all this behind a early 2000's f350. I didnt say anything, just kind of "wowed" it off.
Herk has it right on the Forest Gumps momma thing.
Ps. I dont want to be around any rver pulling doubles, I don't care what the excuse.

Directly from MSHP CMV enforcement St. Louis office. There is no requirement that states that the first trailer in tow has to be a fifth wheel. Only length and height requirements apply to non-commercial (recreational) vehicles.

Why in the he!! would I back the whole thing down the ramp? Think that maybe I'd un hook the camper first and set up camp?
And if in a pinch I had to back up I can push/pull the jet ski by hand... Some people and their ignorance really gets to me... you go ahead and laugh and wish you had the engineering capabilities Hermit... I'm willing to bet you wouldn't even be able to figure how to wire a 4 pin connector to the back of the camper let alone install the hitch and be capable of pulling it...

yup... definitely 29... 
I don't take kindly to being mocked... Turbs had his words as he disagreed with what I had been told and was believing... Which I still thank him for being persistent as I am VERY thick headed...
And at this point I will take the tip from OC about not arguing...
