Did those camper jacks clear the fenders/wheels on the trailer ?, how did you get it up there ?
Yep the jacks wouldn't clear



Took a little figuring, some 2" x 3/16 square tubing, short pieces of 3/16" wall receiver tubing, 2" x 2" x 3/16 angle and some time but it works good (the receiver tubes are pinned at the top to the crosspieces so it's a tool-less job to take the jacks and crosspieces off) though you do have to slide the jacks and crossbars out and leave them at home or strap them to the trailer deck if you're gonna need them wherever you're going. :cool:

Initially, the camper was set onto the trailer with a forklift so my next deal was how to unload/load it w/out the f'lift which is what my previous post shows.;)

This should stir a few feathers! :D Took this load to a show about an hour from home last summer. Passed three State troopers sitting beside the road on the way home, they just watched me drive by.

I don't pull two out of state! ~~ grnspot110

Depends on the state. We do it all the time around here. I see at least 10 trucks pulling campers pulling boats every week down at the lakes. I have towed a Jet Ski behind a 28' boat behind my extended cab truck.

As for Alabama where you live its NOT LEGAL. For where I live, Indiana, its LEGAL as long as you do not exceed 65' overall.

By the way, its LEGAL in Missouri.

Don't know that it's legal here, but a friend pulls a tandem rig consisting of a horse trailer and a flatbed with her wagon all over the state so I assume it is.

Like DP said, double pulling is totally state by state.

You'll never see 'that' type of double pulling in WA.

Semi's are a different story.
