    Don't know if anyone else does the splitter behind the trailer trick.

    Pretty sure it isn't legal to double trailer unless one of them is a 5th wheel or goose-neck (check local listings), but I don't know if a splitter qualifies as a trailer. Just hope you don't need to back up. Never done it, but never had the need either.

    Never tried to back up. They pull like this all the time around here. Camper + fishing boat.

    I was about to say the same thing as Luke but then I thought it could be just a local thing where you could get away with that. I like the idea that you can if you need to but around my parts that would get me red flagged for sure.
    I like the shot of the walnut logs in the trailer, big bass tids

    Cant comment on the legality of it but I have seen plenty of bumper pull campers with a boat behind them. With that said, I typically hammer down and use the shoulder to put em in the rear view :D

    Never tried it myself...pretty sure I'd end up in jail if the po-po saw it.

    I see plenty of doubles pulled around here in GA around the lake, esp big holiday weekends people pulling doubles. Camper with boat behind it. Not sure if you can get so e endorsement to make it here legal? No way can they hide the fact their pulling doubles. I see it all the time which means the sheriffs must see it as well. If they were ticket I g word would get around at the campgrounds not to do it cause there ticketing...must not be cause I see it every yr here?
