I just purchased a wired rear view camera from costco for $299. Great quality unit. Wireless might get some interference.
This is the receiver I use on the back bumper of my TT. Some people will say the bumpers aren't strong enough, that's total bull, at least with mine. For lights I tapped into the the rear lights of the TT with a plug and 'tow ready' plug box mounted to the bumper.

The term "triple towing" refers to a tow vehicle and two trailers behind it.
It looks like CO allows it as long as your combined length is less than 70'. They also don't require trailer brakes on trailers less than 3000#, so it's possible neither of your trailers have brakes.
If towing a gross weight of 3000 pounds brakes are required on both trailers…
Breakaway would also be Required on both trailers…

What issues ? I tow doubles and yes its doubles because in this state and others you can tow triples. When everything is loaded right you will have no problems, and thats with one trlr or two.

Just make sure you don't want to tow through a State that only allows 2 trailers if the first is a fiver, not a TT.

In the truck driving world. Two trailers are doubles. Three trailers are triples. In some States you are allowed to pull three trailers thus the term triples. Ask any REAL truck driver.

Some states call it double towing, while others refer to it as triple towing. That's how the law in written and how a judge sees it for each court in that state. It doesn't matter what me, you, or anyone else calls it. Read the state's statute for the state your interested in.

I wouldn't call it "bull". Take a look at this post. I don't see why your trailer should be any different than most of the others made in this country.
