Mountie couldn't find a Tim Hortons so stopped him for directions.?

20 years ago my neighbour worked in Fort McMurray, and drove a chev pickup with camper, pulling a horse trailer with two horses, then his bass boat behind that.
Never had any problems.
(but that does appear to be a bit overload.)

can you imagine what the cop thought when he walks up to the door and asks, where you headed today? and the answer is ft. mc-murray. priceless!
i know u-haul wouldn't of rented the equipment if they new what he was planning to do. i rented a car trailer in moncton to haul my 50 p/u home and they were sticklers on what i was putting on it to pull with the escalade.

Yeah, that seems a bit much. I worked with a guy that was very into camping trips and had a dually diesel with a 5th wheel similar to the one pictured, but he also had a boat attached to that! Some of the guys were questioning it and he said it was all legal, but pulling into gas stations was alittle tricky!!!

 It is legal as long as the 1st trailer is a 5th wheel hitch...You cant tow 2 bumper hitch trailers in tandem......Im not sure if you went to another province/state what would happen

if the above is true (not saying its not as i have no idea) then there is a good chance he started his journey with just his p-up and 5th wheel, and at some point had a major engine or transmission problem (or whatever)and figured it might be faster to just tow his mess behind a Uhaul and get it fixed when he arrives at his destination.  might not have even known he was breaking any laws or he knew them, gambled and lost.

 

 

 

thats what it look like  too me      actually looked like it might work    He wasn't stopped because it was NOT working   lol
