From Tango Tango, his 2019 Grand Design 375RES. Pulled by 2018 Dodge Ram Cummings and what appears to be a flatbed trailer behind his 5th wheel.
Cederq’s own trailers. goes to show I am not the only crazy one pulling two trailers… A Jayco B19H Travel Trailer and a 5X8 Cargo Trailer.
From Jerry Johnson, Las Vegas. Toy-hauler 5th Wheeler. The above and below picture are his.
Likes his shooting…
Frankfurt, Germany – July 12, 2016: Volkswagen Sharan with a caravan driving on the highway
1963 Ford Galaxy Station Wagon.
Deathray has a similar setup, a goose neck flatbed with a camper on it, but not as raggedy as he puts it…
2021 Winnebago Concept Electric RV, Only 125 mile Range…
Last but not least, someone crazier then me and Tango Tango…

About that last one – at least he gets to keep using his pickup to haul stuff.
Maybe he can’t afford two pickups?
I’ve never owned a trailer. I tried to back one up that was attacked to an ATV and jackknifed it. On those double trailers, how does one back those up? I’m pretty sure the answer is not able to or ahead driving only or unhook backup and rehook, but I’ve been misconstrued more than once.
Nemo, You really can’t back up a double, I used to drive truck and the most I was able to back any doubled trailers was about ten feet. You just have to be careful where you pulled into and made sure you could get out. To sight your trailers it was disconnect and sight the rear trailer and then back the first trailer to it and hook up…
I was hauling two box stack high of loaded olive bins in and 3 stack empty olive bins out of Tracy one year. I was pulling out when another driver came whipping in and promptly got in the way. He realized his error but was in no position to back up. He was apologetic and got out to help spot while I backed my doubles about 40′. Took a while of back up 15′ and pull forward 5′ to straighten out the joints but, I got out w/o uncoupling. It was a weekend job, happy to say I haven’t done it now in quite a few years.
I worked for Airgas and normally drove a O2 Tanker. When the tanker was in for certs or repair I occasionally drove a set of van doubles to deliver welders and welding supplies to our customers. I didn’t care, I still got paid the same. Only one of two times I had to back up those doubles about twenty feet and did the same ten feet then pull up to straighten, then back some more. At least that other driver had the grace to help you back up. I can’t say all of them are so kindly.
My trailer looks very similar to yours and has a 2″ receiver on the bumper, but the only thing I’ve used it for is a bike rack. Is that double trailer thing even legal? Or are you just daring the gendarmes to pull you over?
It is legal in a lot of states, when I drove out from South Dakota the first time, I was passed by state troopers, sheriffs, local cops in South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho. It was licensed and had lights. I pulled a 32′ travel trailer from Nevada to Alabama with a home built 8′ utility trailer behind that and passed a score of states and never had a problem. Of course I stayed in the right lane and speed limit and didn’t do anything stupid. You see a lot of trailers now that are pulling ATV and boat trailers behind their 5th wheels and travel trailers.
“Mid-sixties Ford Galaxy station wagon;” that one’s a 1963. I owned the sedan version of that car.
Yeah, No, that is not my set up.
Although I use something similar, it isn’t quite that ragged out.
I didn’t think it was, but I couldn’t remember. I knew you told me you had a set up like that. Those are quite prevalent in Northern Idaho like yours. I fixed it on the post for ya.
#11 looks like an old Scotty. Practically lived in one that we had parked at Rocks Pond campground during the summer while the parents were working. Oh the things that camper saw. Hurricane Hugo destroyed it & the campground.
I owned a 427 63 Galaxy 2 door hard top. Dual 4 barrels. 8-15 mpg was affordable. 500 miles per set of racing plugs was expensive. Drove like a boat.
The first pic, is that the car from the movie Deer Hunter.
I did the double trailer once. 8 hours each way. The one speed wobble I was able to overcome cured me of that nonsense.
