Default truck + 5th wheel RV + glider trailer ??

Steve
Also along with the length law, you must have active brakes on all
trailing
units if more than one trailer. Not just surge brakes but something
like
electric brakes. I think the limit in western states for doubles is
30' per
unit. The longer the power unit's wheel base the better and lighter
trailer
to rear. I'd go with at least 3/4 ton or more.

Thanks for the input on the 65 ft limit. I'm thinking that still may
be workable though. The glider trailer is 29 ft and distance from the
nose of my truck to the center of the bed is 15 ft. That would leave
21 ft for RV measured from the center of the fifth wheel aft -- a
smallish RV trailer but not too bad.

The biggest question in my mind is how would this menagerie tow at
highway speed?
