I was riding my Harley the other day and went by a pickup that was towing a fifth wheel camper, attached to the back of the camper was a boat. So you had the truck towing the camper towing the boat. My question is, is this legal? If not what if the driver had a CDL with the doubles endorsement?

sounds like quite the rig
would a doubles CDL include some kind of weight limit ? maybe a exemption for pleasure vehicles ?

I wasnt sure just found it odd, and began to wonder. Just glad I was off duty when I saw it.

That must have been some dam truck... I have no idea what I'd do... where are the troopers at.

If the driver can drive it without hazard to the public, I would just cover my eyes like a horse in a parade.

He seemed to be doing fine driving it. I would probably do the same. Just wondering if it was legal Ive only seen it once.

Its not exactly the same but how many times have you seen an RV home towing a full sized vehicle? If its a combined weight over 26,001, etc etc etc get a CDL.

I agree USMC, a friend of mine bought a camper that is basically a CDL class B truck, but because it has camper on the back where the box would be and camper plates he is exempt. However he has a CDL anyway. But how many times do you see the campers that are the size of tour buses going down the highway.

They are exempt for CDL's because they are recreational vehicles.
Weight,air brakes,trailers.
However if he was towing the camper and then attached to that was another trailer towing a boat.
I am no D.O.T. guy but I would have to say NO F^%%G way
