re: Towing two trailers

Honda Rancher 400 (I think) and mine is a Yamaha Grizzly 350. I've tried to figure out a configuration I could haul both of them in the bed of a truck but without a sizeable platform over the bed of the truck, there's not really a way to haul both 4 wheelers in a standard 6'4" bed sideways, straight forward, or standing up. They're not narrow enough to fit in any configuration in the bed unless the tailgate is down, and the camper jack will hit the tailgate with it down. We would consider cutting the jack off the trailer and getting a flip up jack but we're sorta running out of time. I think we're just going to go with what we have for this trip and if we want to do this more often we'll figure out a different option. I like cutting the tongue and adding a platform option best myself.

That's sort of what I had in mind, using square tubing and expanded steel.
If you have a pipe threader, you could build it out of pipe.

I have done it with a 24 foot camper and a 10foot utility trailer loaded with a four wheeler. I cut the flimsy bumper off the camper. Got me some 4inch square tubing and welded it on the frame of the camper and welded a receiver hitch onto the tubing. Pulled that set up everywhere. From Louisiana to south Florida. Never had a problem

I see people of the Mexican persuasion do it all the time. Not that I would

I have told this before and folks are dubious but when we lived in New Mexico we regularly saw entire fleets of 7 or 8 vehicles being towed by one vehicle headed south. Sometimes it would be a damned Camry pulling 4-5 cars, Sometimes a pickup pulling 6-7 and sometimes it would be a school bus pulling 6-7 school busses. There would be 3 - 4 of these together most of the time...rarely saw on by itself. I always thought they were stolen but apparently they buy them for cheap in the states and tow them to Mexico and either sell them as is or repair them and sell them. It is a common sight in SE New Mexico...I have been told it is seen in Texas as well. I am sure they have some sort of license and permit...it is, by all accounts, a legit operation.
What ain't legit is hauling mobile homes...not RVs but mobile homes, behind a half ton pickup. I was about a week in New Mexico the first time I saw this...about daylight on a Sunday. Coming from white trash stock I appreciated it at the time...and it wasn't just once, it was pretty common to see someone moving a mobile home, even double wides (2 trips of course) in New Mexico behind a half ton pickup. Gotta love that if you're white trash...damn the trailer park rent....slip out on Sunday morning while the landlord is in church!
