Well if I'm registered in Tx all I should have to worry about it is our laws of the land which is 65' if pulling doubles. Don't know if the front would need to be a 5th wheel though that site didn't specify... Only thing I plan on putting back there is a GN hook up here soon. Plus with it being lifted and my mom

driving a 5th wheel I just suspecting she'll be calling me reporting damage.

AZ will ticket you regardless of where you are registered. They will also make you drop your poad and come back for it. A lot of states say no to the double bumper pulls.

Backing a tandem trialer is **** near impossible for more than about 50 feet or so. Forget trying to turn it while backing.

In an ideal world I'd have a couple Can Ams, 2 harleys, and a toy hauler to haul them to offroad parks or rallies. But at 26 y/o

just paying for the fuel to get there breaks me.

Right now I have the truck, one beat up Polaris and one Ducati

. But I want an addtional quad.

Toys are definately expensive to buy, store, and maintain...no doubt about that. Particularly when you are just starting out.

I just think by the time you (or whoever) buys a travel trailer and jacks around trying to buy another trailer to pull behind it, you could have just bought a good clean used Toyhauler and it would have served all of your purposes. I can haul 3 quads in mine, plus one in the bed. Maybe more with some creativity. Pics in my gallery. Good luck with whatever you come up with.
