Road trains with the family vehicle.

Thanks for that Booty. Your a champion.
Where's Kerry??

Yep, checked the Vic regs and illegal. I had thought that possibly the 5th wheel setup may not count per say as a trailer and hence allow a trailer behind it. But not so. In Vic that is.

Geez this brings back memories! Did it a couple of times, overseas where it was legal. Chev Ute, plus 17' caravan, plus small runabout. The boat was a bit light on the drawbar and tended to wag the dog, so speed had to be kept down, but towed ok otherwise.

RAG you're a better man than me, mate, I found reversing next to impossible. I think it may have been because the caravan axle was just about amidships, so any sideways movement on the drawbar resulted in a large opposite swing on the boat drawbar - all too easy to jacknife the whole rig.

Hi all im pretty sure they do it in my home town of south africa. So you can take the caravan and the boat got to have all the toys.

oh my folks
arent there enough idiots on the roads let alone the poeple that tow a caravan or boat once a year on a trip up the highway
i can see it now easter holidays 20 kms jammed traffic with poeple with a caravan the boat and a box trailer your giveing me nightmares

but on enother view a special trailer like a car carrier trailer carries 2 cars easy for length just wieght restrictions and licence look at those fifth wheel mobile homes
cheers

The Army's Half tonne trailers have an attachment at the back for another half tonne trailer. Ive seen 6 back to back all up. Looks very odd but they would never take them off the base like that. I'd love to see that get reversed.

Cheers Chris

just think of them of a b double and its all good, mate its easier than backing up a box trailer, now as for laws i do believe that thats all about to change, as in most states now they wont allow a bus /motor home to pull/tow a trailer, they now have to use a :A FRAME: set up, which must have an overide brake set up and must be certified, so for those that are rich enuff we can build your motorhome to suit and be legal cheers ian
