Has anyone been stopped for towing a boat behind a 5th wheel in Canada and is it legal?

Depends which province you are in I know it is illegal in BC to tow an other trailer behind the fifhwheel infact they are pretty strict over there you can not exeed your tow vehicle weight.
It is legal in Alberta and Saskatchewan not sure about the east.

This site may help, but it would be best to confirm with the authorities in each province to confirm!
It would seem from this site that it is legal towing a 5th wheel with a second trailer in AB, MB, ON, QC, SK and YK.

About 5 years ago in quebec I saw a mid 1980's dodge colt towing 2 snowmobile trailers in tandem with 4 snowmobiles on them. Not quite the right tow vehicle..It looked like a death trap to me, but Im told it was legal.

Towing tandem is legal up here in Quebec but there is a total length limit (can't remember what it is). We often see 14'-18' boats behind 5ers.

Legal in Alberta. Front trailer MUST be 5th wheel type(includes Goose neck), and total length and weight restrictions apply.

It's allowed in Ontario, but it's limited to a 5vr and the total length can not exceed 75 feet.
