What do you haul your SxS with?

[PaulF]

I have a 24ft camper and 14ft utility trailer that I would do it with. That isn’t a bad idea adding sway control to the second as that is my main concern.

I used one of these. It requires welding unless you buy a separate (pre welded) ball mount. I was skeptical but it actually worked really well...

What? Was it the suspension? (They had a suspension?!!) The wooden seats? (My old butt still hurts) Just the boys you were packed in there with? (Nah. They all smelled really good)

Pulling doubles with a 5er is easy and more forgiving than a bumper pull. Pulling doubles with a bumper pull is also possible but you MUST get the tongue weights and balance perfect or you will sway. Once a double bumper pull starts to sway, you are in trouble. Personally, I used a sway control on the rear trailer just in case. Probably didn't need it but even if I tried to "test force" a sway, it always made the 2nd trailer go back straight. My BIL pulls double bumper pulls and has no issues.

In either case, you cannot see the 2nd trailer unless you have a camera. I have personally seen someone dragging a flat on the second trailer without knowing and another dragging the 2nd trailer by the safety chains without knowing.

Also, you need to mind state laws. Most limit total length between 60 and 75 feet, require brakes on the 2nd trailer and some don't even allow 2 trailers. Some states require the safety chains from the 2nd trailer be attached directly to the 1st trailer's frame. For instance, Utah is 65' (100' with a permit) and requires brakes on the 2nd trailer if it is over 3,000 lbs. I was about 72', chains to the frame and no brakes on the second trailer and never got questioned in Utah. Went to Sand Hollow and back, passed a dozen HP troopers and not one of them pulled me over. Pulled through several other states and never got questioned either and I doubt I was 100% legal in any of the states I drove in.

Not sure about where you are located but here in the west, if you are driving the speed limit and staying in your lane, it seems the HP have better thing to do with their time here.

If you decide to tow doubles, I highly recommend a backup camera on the first trailer and TPMS on all tires.

I second @PaulF comments.

here’s my old setup before I moved to a toy hauler.

I would add that if you can, the trailer with dual axels sways a lot less than the second trailer with a single axel.

My 2nd trailer was a fully aluminum enclosed trailer.

You sure that’s enough truck to pull that Talon around...😂

You sure that’s enough truck to pull that Talon around...😂

It's pulled by my wife's hemi-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee with her driving. It's humiliating to sit in the passenger seat.

My fading vision forced me to sell my third Dodge-Cummins dually and big Kaufman car hauler trailer.

The Talon was replaced by a Pioneer but I like the photo.
