    Oh, I will pull a pindle hook, but that's it. I pull 200 on two wheels, but that's all. After that can't control it. Too much speed, or too many trailers, are a bad idea. That third one is the one.

    That might be so, but it's not something I WANT to do or would feel comfortable doing. Doubles are dangerous enough.

    I post years of advise. I see wiggles in the ditch all the time. Wind, weather, lack of experience. I'm not good at it yet, been doing it 30 years. Let me know when you can do it all. :)

    I run triples all the time. Quite frankly I am sick and tired of it. Our speed limit drops to 55mph. Plus there is a bunch of other crap you got to worry about like the crack of the whip effect, more connection points, more lights, tyres, and make sure you hooked them in the right order. I can't wait for winter to hit.

    Compared to a rocky mountain double set, triples are childs play!
