No, I am no longer on active duty. If I was, this would be a much easier move.
I think you are correct. The lead trailer is going to be pretty heavy and the aft one will be just heavy enough. I think the addition of better tires will also play a role in stability.
I do think two simple links...
Oh I agree, they are far from ideal. But it is what I have to work with. I do not have the funds for renting a truck. Plus i can run my deuce on free fuel. (kind of) We alos have two 3/4 pick up trucks and my F350 (if I ever get it running again). One of those is tasked with pulling our horse...
I think it would be easier to just lay out what I am trying to do. We plan to move. If we move out of state I wanted to use my deuce to transport our house hold stuff. Why rent a truck when i have a freaking deuce sitting in the yard. The trailer I have now I planned to load up with my garage...
Good point, I did nto think of the load. The idea here is to transports a laod not empty trailers.
So, can we focus on this for a moment? The lead trailer will have a lot more wieght than the aft trailer. Plus, both trailers and the truck will be running the 22.5 tires. That information alone...
Two longer trailers I would have no issue with, the lenght of these however does concern me.
The trailer sway you mentioned is one thing that I am concerned about as well. Just like the link to that thread mentioned. I was hoping the new tires would help to stop that.
Connecting the trailers...
The laws is an issue I was going to get into once I figured out if this would work or not. I cannot load a trailer in the bed because I need the bed space. As far as a license is concerned, I have a class A with doubles and triples anyway.
There is a real good chance that this setup would be taken over several state lines. I am modding me deuce to do better on the highway (more on that later) and I would like to do the same with the trailers. I was thinking some of the problems I might face at highway speeds would be as a result...
The reason I want to do this if for hauling a load. The truck bed will be full as well as both trailers. Also, I am planning on interstate driving so I will have to travel at a higher rate of speed.
