Its legal here in Texas.

Thinking of trying it on Memorial Day weekend.
Just wanted some comments.

 

You might want to double check the laws. Everywhere I have read the laws it states that the firs trailer must be a "semi" type (fifth wheel). Everything I have read also says that even a GN is not allowed to have another trailer behind it since it is attached by a ball. It is quite possible that I am wrong about Texas law too. I would hate to read about you getting into trouble with the law on here. If you have luck like mine, I could just about guarantee that would happen.

Its legal in Texas as long as your total length is under....... I think 35 feet? It may be longer, can't remember. I am pulling a 26ft TT with equalize hitch.

I've seen several TT's pulling boat trailers. Thats a little to much for me.

 

Found this on the Texas Dept of tranportation website.


"Combinations such as truck, travel trailer & boat or motor home, boat and towing a car - max 65ft "

So as I read it, I can tow both as long as my overall length is under 65 feet? Correct?

 

I would bring a printed copy of that with you..... just in case

 

I would recheck that, as Ok and Tx has the same towing laws and ball to ball is illegal, now they might not get you then again they just might, it is not to enforced here in Ok but I would assume you would run the liability risk if involved in any accident. Goodluck,,Rick

 

That was all I could find on their website under "legal limits".

But you could only do ball to ball on "motor home, boat and towing a car ".
Unless you know of another way?

 

This is under the law section of the Texas Dept of Public Saftey. (State police, law inforcement)

"VEHICLE COMBINATIONS
A combination of not more than three vehicles, may be coupled together if the combination of vehicles, other than a truck-tractor combination, is not longer than 65 feet.
A passenger car or another motor vehicle that has an unloaded weight of less than 2,500 pounds may not be coupled with more than one other vehicle or towing device at one time.
A house trailer or towable recreational vehicle and motor vehicle combination may not be longer than 65 feet. "

Thats it. Nothing about ball to ball restrictions.

 

I have done it on my way to DeGray Lake in Arkansas No problems.
