while I've never towed doubles Im not sure its all that unsafe....ESPECIALLY with our coaches.

sure length and braking need to be addressed but assuming they are i don't see the issue, assuming its permitted in the given state etc.

if the vehicles are properly equipped and can tow the 2nd item / trailer on their own i don't understand what all of a sudden makes it unsafe when its on the same hitch ball & safety chains (again assuming brakes are incorporated where necessary).

IMO this ranger pickup (that i saw years ago) is MORE dangerous than many towing doubles.



And heres another one - while i wouldnt do it (because it looks so top heavy) - assuming its secure i don't know how its LESS dangerous (again assuming that weight limits haven't been exceeded) than towing doubles.

Between this one & the Ranger pickup truck - i (personally) consider BOTH very dangerous.



in the WRONG hands both of these (while perfectly legal) could be equally as deadly as towing doubles.
