One thing I think people fail to realize is that even though your vehicle may have enough power to haul a fifth wheel trailer and a boat up a hill, it doesnt always have the ability to stop and trailer effevtivley.
I have seen with 3/4 ton pick ups pulling a single axle camper trailer, without the fifth wheel hookup, and a 20 ft boat behind that.
Yeah it makes it up the hill, even though the boat is swinging all over the place, and the springs on the pick up are nearly maxed out. No trailer brakes on the boat trailer.
My personal opinion is it ought to be illegal for a pick up truck to haul more than one trailer behind it. There just arent enough qualified people on the roads to haul that kind of stuff, and most of the time they are not only under expirienced, but they are over weighted for thier ability to effectivley control.
I dont know where people get off taking these kinds of risk with my family out on the road.
