Never seen one get stopped by the law yet people here will say you will get stopped by the law if you put 3k lbs on the back of a 3/4 ton diesel.


Yeah I 25 and I 10 are famous for these trains too, from our days in Phx and Albq.
Once in a while youโ€™d see double flat tow setups. A ragged out Silverado pulling something else with a trailer hitch pulling something else. Usually with the front bumpers in the back seats!

But by rvnet standards, Iโ€™m supposedly committing a class A felony when I leave the driveway with my camper.

Most states he would be over length as well. I know KS has made people over length drop whats towed to bring it into compliance. It looks like this guy would have to make a few trips. I wonder about brakes as well.
I beleive that would be classified as a triple tow.

I see a lot of semi's towing two trailers now days as well.

LOL and the arguments about how long to hook the chain; Some wanted lots of space, give more room to stop. I preferred just enough distance to have room to turn. Sudden stop, might bump, but both close to same speed not a hard hit.

What's the problem? Seems like he is not being pulled over by a LEO and not a flame ball on the side of the road either??

Sure, I do see some wild stuff out there too with various "RV's".. But, most of the things on the side of the road all crashed up are regular passenger vehicles and Semi's... ๐Ÿ˜‰

That tow dolly doesn't need a license plate in a number of states.

I didn't try to enlarge the photo, but it looks like a flat R/R on the tow vehicle. JDC1, i don't think you're alone, I think there a lot of states you wouldn't get very far with that.
