Some states allow tandem towing, some do not, and some others have very specific rules and laws like a special license endorsement or vehicle restrictions.
You need to find your towing capacity of your truck and the weights of all the things you're towing before you attempt to tandem tow. You also need to check with the DMV/DOT of the various states you'll be traveling in.
Keep in mind, when semis tandem tow, they have a converter dolly that goes under the tongue of the second trailer so it does not exert any vertical load on the rear of the first trailer.Will my 01chevy half-ton v8 5.3 with a tow package pull a 18ft celebrity ski boat and a 1997 jayco pop-up?
Not at the same time, pick one or the other. Open the drivers door or look in your owners manual, It / they will tell you your limits. There is a sticker on the door pillar as well that states your vehicle limits Actually the state limits what kind of set up you can tow and a truck / boat , trailer combo is not allowed anywhere
