A good weld shop should be able to build one for you. They may be able to adapt a standard hitch to fit. Probably a good RV shop could do it also.

Watch your length, most states that allow doubles the max is 65 feet, with our setup that would give me about 6' for a trailer.....

Just a small trailer to haul the Teryx would leave more room in the toy hauler for the dogs and also have a trailer to move machine around when camping. see it alot out west

I took our TH to a hitch shop that was recommended by a local RV dealer.

I tow tandem all the time. I'm at 71' overall. Max length in OK is 65.... So I'm 6' over. Meh... I dunt care. I'll play dumb if I get pulled over.

Here in Minnesota your 5th wheel (and it must be a 5th wheel) has to be under 28 feet to tandem and the combo needs to stay under 71' or 72'...

So your second trailer behind your fifth wheel could be longer than your 5th wheel?

I thought there were many critereas that had to be met before you attach a second trailer? Like here in CA, you have to pull it with something larger then a F550, 5500 or larger and had to have some special rating on your license as well. Also, couldnt be longer then 70'???
