That takes dedication and a lot a faith that weather won't be a factor in the trip.  Cross winds would be challenging...

Kinda depends on what you're looking to accomplish. For instance, if you are looking to recreate the crash scene from the Blues Brothers movie you have a nice little beginning. However, I would recommend more Dodge sedans. Keep us posted

It'll work until it doesn't.  

He better not ever try to back up with that rig.

That's one light breeze away from an expensive insurance call.

Note that the camper is hitched to a helper axle, not the actual pickup bed. 

The boat is too close to the trailer. I call BS, photoshopped.

My first thought on seeing this, it looks like a perfect setup for a Chips episode. I see a flying boat, car driving through the camper, all hell breaking loose as the driver tries to take evasive actions while a speeding car cuts him off with a last dive for an exit.

Dude, way too much truck. You really don't need anything more than a minivan.

I have no idea about the depicted picture.  But, the thread title does now.  wink

Double bottoms are legal?

What's the point in having it all if you can't take it all with you?

Ohhh my friends in San Francisco beg to differ. 
 

The first trailer is technically a 5th wheel just attached to a tag a long axle

We have a 32 foot motorhome and pull a Fiesta ST on a dolly and that is plenty for me even though it is equipped with aftermarket sway bars front and rear. I have seen combinations of pickup - fifth wheel RV - boat and also motorhome - pickup - boat going down the road. Simply can't imagine that combination unless you are really stupid or have a death wish.

I was thinking that as well, hence the super grainy picture.

My buddy tows his 5th wheel camper, and boat with a f450 in Texas. He works gas line. Tripple towing is legal in most states. The boat above throws a big no in my book.

You also need the car that runs into a blunt vertical object that is taller than the fender yet somehow inexplicably ends up doing a barrel roll over it.

So when you launch the boat, is the truck complete submerged?wink

Thanks, I missed the reference the first time around.

I actually drew up plans to put our 14' sailboat and trailer up on the bed rails of the long bed F250 when we had both. The plan was to take the sailboat and our popup camper out for a vacation here in GA where double towing is illegal. 
 

the plan would be to drop the trailer at the camp site then roll the boat trailer down ramps to the ground and tow it to the ramp. 
 

of course the boat AND trailer was less than 600lbs. The 20' mast made it a real challenge.

In reply to Duke :

You are correct, that probably happens while all hell breaks loose.

A friend used to carry one Nautique and trailer on racks I built for his F350 while he towed another, from the factory in Florida to his dealership in Saskatoon.

Big sway bars are the answer.

The whole assembly is probably overweight.
