Does This Count as a Triple?

This is first hand. I saw this the other day at a truck stop off I-15 in Idaho and snapped a few pictures with my cell phone. I regret that I had a time schedule to keep because I would have liked to talk with this guy for a while. Where was he from? Where was he going? What the *^&% was he thinking?

So here's the debate... Does this count as pulling a triple?

Am I missing something, I do not see a problem with it. :laughing:

Maybe it's a DMV inspection stop training aid. :laughing:

When crossing Idaho years back, I saw a pickup pulling a travel trailer pulling about a 16' boat. I just assumed it was legal in Idaho.

Be glad you didn't have time to talk to the guy as owners of vee-hick-ells like that tend to shoot first and ask questions later at worst. At best they just spit tobacco juice on your foot.

Double pulls are legal in many states. We pull jetskis behind a 28' boat and the guy down the street pulls a 21' ski boat behind a 35' 5th wheel.

Isn't a Class-A non-commercial required though?

Depends on the state and/or weight ratings. That isn't available here so it can't required here.

None in Indiana either.

That would take a "Recreational Doubles" endorsement (V) in Michigan.

Isn't that an "R"?
