Road Use Laws: Triple Towing
Dave SolbergDescription
Triple towing – towing, for instance, a boat behind a trailer behind a truck – is legal in some but not all states according to road use laws. These laws dictate things such as total length and number of vehicles. RV expert Dave Solberg recommends that you be sure to look up whether your triple tow is legal in each state you’ll be driving in. What’s more, if you do decide to hook up three vehicles, always always always hook up properly, with safety chains and a breakaway cable connecting each vehicle. Ensure that it’s legal and safe.

It's called double towing not triple towing. You only have two trailers not three. You do not count the tractor (or pickup ). The only time you would call it triple towing is if the pickup and the two trailers are hooked to the back of a tow truck.
