    LEO question: Towing two empty trailers.....

    I need to haul a couple trailers up by Austin. Both 16' utility trailers. I plan on having lights operating the back trailer. Legal or not legal?
    I've seen the Mexican wagon train haul-n 2 vehicles before?

    Legal as long as it's not over 65ft long

            This sir is correct. There are few other things that may be needed but a legal 16 ft trailer should already have these required items.

                It used to be that the first trailer had to be a 5th wheel and 2nd trailer could be a bumper pull. Should be able to call local DPS to clarify.

                  I never could get a clear answer


                  Even from a DPS Captain


                  I pulled a 5th wheel with a 17' boat all over the place

                      Just don't get in a situation where you have to back up!!!!

                      I have no clue if it is legal or not?

                          Just for clarification guys, can't exceed 65 ft total length of combination.

                            In case you did not know, always put heaviest trailer in front, the lighter trailer to the rear. I see people pulling 2 bumpers bu I do not believe its legal. Good luck on it

                              This includes the tow vehicle, btw.
