Have not been on in a while

First time on the forum in quite some time, used to read it everyday. Thought I would post a picture from our Colorado trip this summer. And before I get in trouble I do have a class A license with a doubles and triples endorsment. LOL It really pulls pretty good no need to turn any wider the second trailer just follows the first. About 70ft overall guessing total towing weight about 16k.

Is the trailer behind the fiver articulated or non articulated ? I'm gonna have one built with two axles at a length to stay under State Law, Non Articulated and get the Class A. In Florida it will need a seperate break away brake system. The reason for the two axles. Gonna carry a golf cart and a what ever else.

I hope your hitch on the back of the fiver is a good one. I saw a guy going down the freeway a couple of days ago with a simular setup. The toung of the small trailer he had behind his fiver was going up & down about a foot. It had to be bending the hitch up & down. It probably looked solid when it wasn't moving, but scared me to be behind it when on the road.

The trailer behind the 5ver is just a 16ft bumper pull trailer nothing special about it. The hitch on the back of the 5ver is welded to the frame of the trailer it pretty sturdy have not had any issues with it. this setup is about 70ft overall which I know is over length but I never had an issue in TX, NM or CO. My hitch on my 5ver is a goose neck conversion pop up with a 9in offset, BW hitch in the truck. this setup works great for me and can almost 90 degree turn the truck and not hit the cab.
