I was wondering if someone could give me some information about towing a Jeep Wrangler X behind my Montana 5th Wheel. My tow vehicle is a Peterbilt 387 with a Cat C15 engine. The 5th Wheel is 39.7' I know that with all three, the truck, trailer, jeep, the overall length will be more than 65'. First, is it legal. If so, would it be best to flat tow or put it on a 2 wheel tote. Do I need to get permits for oversize load (in just one state or every state I travel through, or do I need one at all?). Some say the Idaho tote is not considered a trailer but part of the 5th wheel, therefore legal to pull toad and not be triple towing. They are way above my budget. Is there anything out there like the Idaho tote that is reasonably priced? Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
