Nutty and a hazard but quite brilliant as a solution for moving a 5th wheel camper with a SUV. I wonder if he bothered to hook up turn signals and brake lights. He should have moved some ballast to put weight on the hitch though. Wonder how he got the hitch attached as it is pretty clearly lifting the back of the SUV.

For the hitching part I think he has the factory jacks that are in front (or is it back) and levels the trailer, then hooks up, and llifts them

You're right. I guess you've done this a few times yourself!!! (Insert smiley here).

Sorry can't say that. They might ban me from this thread cause it's a big no no.

But my answer would lean to the no side

He needs one of these "Tow Alls". Video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b734eSPO1gI

I wonder how that tow all counts? Does it need a seperate tag? Does it count as pulling doubles?

Not sure but I think those are no longer allowed here, at least for travel trailers.

I know some places dont allow doubles.. So I just wonder how that tag along is counted. Is it considered part of the other trailer, essentially converting it into a wagon? Or is it a trailer pulling a trailer?

I'm not sure how the tow alls are regulated. Growing up in Northern Canada it was not uncommon for B- train type setups for camping. Usually a truck towing a fith wheel, with a boat being towed behind the fith wheel. Good for distance hauls, and then you'd unhook and maneuver each separately once you arrived at the lake or river campsite.
