I welcome all comments.
I want to take a Golf Cart with me. Would like to tow a utility trailer with the cart on it behind fifth wheel.
I stopped at 3 DMV's in North Carolina today...one said gray area as the other, too, not sure.
Talked to a State trooper and he made a call and was told NO. Even the 18 wheelers that double tow can only do it at certain times.
What are your thoughts?
How about the Swivel Wheel set up....Still a trailer?

Depends on where you are going. Some state - OK, others (NC??) no-no.
Trailer Life Directory has a state-by-state summary of these regs.

From the looks of your rig, you would be over the 65 foot maximum length.

I wouldn't recommend trying to TRICK them with any gimmic. Any trailer you tow behind your trailer is another trailer and would still be so if it was a car. Most courses have carts for rent at a pretty reasonable rate anyway. Good luck Skip

We pull a SmartTrailer carrying two motorcycles behind our Big Sky and it works well. We just got back from a week in North Carolina. No problems.

Ok Britt , sell me that beautiful trailer and buy your self a nice new toy hauler  Really , I believe you would you be over your max. length ,although your truck would be able to handle, it would be unsafe at best. Happy Camping Joe

In Washington State double towing is not allowed. I built a Smarttrailer type unit and they call it a "Load Carrying Vehicle Extension" and it is legal. Not registered or licensed.
I have towed this setup for three years with no problems here in Washington.
