I have great credit
It's legal in some states. If you live in the North east or trying to travel in it, ain't happening. Or Virginia, so sorry Paul
Some states have length laws so can't exceed 65-75 ft. Also some states only let you pull a second trailer behind a 5th wheel.
Scroll to the right on the chart and you'll see 2 trailers

Very
much legal! I use to have a 30' 5th wheel that I pulled with my dodge and would hook up a low profile Haulmark 2 bike behind that. Went to Sturgis twice with that rig!

As long as the state that you live in accepts it, the others can not deny you. Many people pull fishing boats behind their bumper pull campers

D.O.T. tends to bother the toter homes and show haulers, and it's kinda rare that they pull motor homes over. The Toters and Show Haulers look more like trucks due to the truck cab (Freight Liner or Benz). Here is mine with the race car trailer on the back. 78 feet. The coach is more stable with the trailer on the back. Yep, long train...lol
Stopped in the Carolinas. Coming back from a race in Florida.
740 bucks in fuel. Round trip from NY to Bradenton, and Bradenton back to NY. Average mph was around 66 to 68. Towing does not seem to change the fuel economy one bit. The diferent fuel economy levels are the following mph's. 52-60 over 13.1, 61-68 11.7, 69-75 (your wallet opens up and someone takes a torch to your money)
Coach 40 foot. Trailer 38 from back of box to tongue.

Agreed, my 40' coach with 20' trailer with 5' tongue.D.O.T. tends to bother the toter homes and show haulers, and it's kinda rare that they pull motor homes over.

I do actually have a 2" receiver hitch on the back of that egg! I use it for a bike rack. I bet I could pull the single bike trailer with it!! I do love that little egg. Its all fiberglass so no roof/siding issues or seams. It has all you need. Its 2450lbs. I sold the Tahoe and now tow it with a std cab Silverdao 4x4 with a 4.8 V8. We went a loop around lake Michigan last year and got 13.5mpg!

Sorry but I told it like it was.... The 2 happiest days in a boaters life is when they first buy it and when they sell it.... same for me with the 5th wheels. My motor home was much better than the 5th wheel but I could only pull 1 vehicle behind which was always my bike so if it rained we were stuck. I once spent 2 weeks stuck inside with the wife in PA.... never again...

Also on towing a trailer with a 5th wheel. The whole East coast won't let you (ask me how I know) I heard and researched swivel wheel trailers which are attached to your rig and don't pivot. I was told they were legal so I spent $3,000 building one. I didn't make it 20 miles before a cop pulled me over. I argued with him that it was legal because it wasn't considered a trailer. He called in a state trouper and then it got bad.... They made me unhook it and park it. They then gave me a ticket for towing 2 trailers, a ticket for no license plate on said second trailer and a ticket for being over length..... I took it to court and lost....

You mean like 7 years ago in Florida when an 18 wheeler dumped a full load of Hawaiian punch all over 95 and I took an alternate route going by my Garmin gps which led me down a road which just ended out of nowhere? yes, I backed it up 3/4 of a mile. It took almost two hours at night to do it. Was a fucking nightmare.

One time driving truck I took my 72' rig down this GA back road to a Johnson & Johnson plant. I stopped at a local store where 3 guys were on the front porch in rockin chairs. got an Ice tea and asked how far the plant was from there. (you could see it down the mountain) They said "you can't get there from here" I thought they were pulling my leg so I went on. About 4 miles later down a twistin winding narrow 2 lane road there was a 12' bridge and I had a 13' trailer.... 2 hrs later after backing up I stopped at that same local store and the same guys were there. They all laughed and said we told ya so.... gotta love the south... should have asked why...
One time I'm in back of Sanabeil island fishing in my 16' boat when this 32' boat comes speeding up on me, stops and almost capsizes my boat. With a NY accent they ask if there is a gas station near by because they were out of gas. I said yes.... down that canal about a half mile... they didn't ask if it was open..... Shoulda asked....
