Would this be a safe trip?

i have a 29.5 fopot long bumper pool Jayco J series camper (weighs about 5,580 pounds ) and a 4 wheeler about 10-15 feet long. i thought of pullong them both (truck,camper,then 4 wheeler trailer) would this bee a good idea my truck is well rated for this and i will be putting 2 4 wheelers on thisWould this be a safe trip?
I have seen this done through the U.S Make sure the states you will be traveling in are OK with this,and legal,make sure your camper bumper is strong enough for you 15` trailer,I have seen the bumpers pulled off,corning will be difficult but since you will be bending in the middle you should be OK.
You're going to spend an awful lot in gas to do this. Plus any place you stop you're going to have a heck of a time finding someplace to park.



If it was me, I'd simplify.Would this be a safe trip?
if you have to ask that question then it probably isnt safe



if you are thinking of pulling a trailer hooked to a trailer then no that is not safe.



I dont even think you can hook a trailer to another trailer.
Nope, definately not safe as the total length would be way to long to make it round any corners safely without mounting the pavements.Would this be a safe trip?
When you post here, please re read your post and check for spelling errors!.



What is "29.5 fopot long bumper pool Jayco J series camper"?



I know what a 'Jayco J series camper' is, and am assuming that '29.5 fopot long' is '29.5 foot long', but I'm lost on 'bumper pool'.



Whatever you've written, it looks like you're planning to tow a camper and a trailer behind your truck. You will be stopped and cited. It is illegal anywhere in the US to tow a combination of two trailers (unless you're licensed accordingly and are driving a a proper tractor with two semi trailers).



Even if you could manage it, it would not be safe. Just the thought of someone towing a trailer, no matter how many wheels, behind a camping trailer, would make me keep as much distance away from him as I could.



You should also know that one only pulls small, lightweight trailers with bumper mounted hitches. To tow a 5.580 pound trailer you should have a proper hitch installed, attached to the frame of the truck, not the bumper. You should also make sure it has the proper brakes and you know how to control them. Do NOT tow a second trailer behind any trailer.
No this is completely illegal in all 50 states.....
