Towing

Hello, Does anyone know if the Epro20FBS model is equipped to have a hitch on the back for towing a jet ski ? And would this be legal?

Welcome to the forum. Most campers are not certified by the manufacture to add a hitch or tow as it will void the warranty. Later RJD

It would be impossible to say if it was legal where you plan to tow as you have not specified a location. Laws probably vary by country/state/province. (Plus, I wouldn’t recommend taking legal advice from a public forum. Consult your local transportation laws).

First, the Epro/GeoPro trailers don't have rear bumpers.
Second, they have ultralight frames and aren't approved for towing.
Third, doing such a mod will void the frame's warranty.

That is the WRONG type of trailer for this purpose. Plus the few states that allow double towing, most require the first trailer to be a 5th wheel.

56% of the states allow tandem towing more than one trailer, that's more than a few. I didn't bother checking what tandems are allowed where allowed since it's a stupid idea even if the equipment and law allows. Yep, 3 "allows" in the same sentence.
