RE: Doubles?
Ha Ha well if the world was perfect and I wasnt a college student with limited money, then it would be a New Diesel, a 35 foot 5th wheel and 4 brand new jet skis, but thats just going to happen. I got this pop for 500 bucks and its nice with seriously no problems at all so I take what I can get. Ill try and figure something out. Thanks for the input

RE: Doubles?
Put what ever weights the most right behind the truck.
Tongue weight is going to be the big factor here. If the trailer behind the truck does not have enough tongue weight it will get crazy behind you. Hook the small trailer to the bigger one and see what the tongue weight feels like. I would try to have about 10 % of the trailer weight on the truck hitch.
I've pulled a ski boat and jetskis with a Ford Ranger, before joining the Dakota ranks, and with the right weights i would fine.
Most states have restrictions about how long the set-up can be, I.E. over all length can be no longer than 40 foot, truck and trailers.
Good luck.

RE: Doubles?
Yeah i'll do that. FirstI'm going to a truck scale and going to weight each trailer and then figure which would be the best way to set it up, then get a weight distrib hitch, then get someone to weld a receiver on the back of the trailer and have it wired for lights. So it could be a while, im supposed to be getting the skis next week some time. Ha ha this should be interesting.
