People who 'double tow' have a death wish for themselves and anyone in their vicinity on the road. You cannot control normal road buffeting, let alone the turbulence caused by a semi truck passing you. If you have a tire blow out you are frankly on your way to the morgue and probably will take a few surrounding motorists with you. There is no travel trailer manufacturer who has evaluated and approved their manufactured product as a 'tow vehicle'. The frame is not designed or engineered to be utilized as a tow platform. From a practical standpoint, you are extending the motor vehicle electrical supply for lighting and electric trailer brakes beyond their designed length just for starters. The resulting voltage drop will blow a supply fuse, or worse, burn up a fusible link leaving you with no lights and no brakes period. If you run across one of these 'double tow' configurations, let them get well out in front or behind you.
