trailering

Re: trailering

In addition to all the words of wisdom here, consider the boat's tongue weight and the camper frame strength (or lack thereof). I seriously doubt that a pop-up camper was designed for such a task. At least with a 5th Wheel the hitch mechanism is fairly beefy.

Re: trailering

I don't know the brand or manufacturer, but I have seen a rack mounted to a pickup bed with an electric winch that lowers a cantilevered frame to carry a boat. Tow the trailer behind the truck and carry the boat over the top.

Re: trailering

I think you're mixing the trailer types here, yes, in some states 5th wheelers can have a trailer behind them. I see them in MN all the time, however, its only allowed on 5th Wheelers and the whole tow rig has to be under some max length limit. You cannot tow 2 ball & hitch type trailers together.<br /><br />I'm sure that's because 5th Wheelers actually attach to that huge mounting plate in the bed of the truck bolted to the frame in multiple places. A ball & hitch type setup is no way going to handle it...plus that back trailer is going to whip all over the place. <br /><br />Insurance won't cover you, so when you get in an accident, you'll be paying for it all buy yourself. Don't do it.
