Default Is it Legal to tow a trailer behind a camper?

I know this is not "Repair and Troublshooting" question, but I know the people on here will know the answer.

I live in SC

We were talking at work about this. Is it legal to tow a small trailer(for golf cart) behind a camper. So you have the truck pulling the camper pulling the trailer.

Is that legal? I have seen a boat behind a camper, but I don't know if it is legal?

Anyone?

FishB8,

Each state has there own laws. I have pulled my golf cart in a trailer behind my 35' 5th wheel. I have seen alot of rigs doing this in GA.

Another option..... I guess their called a swivel wheel carrier. Sounds like they are legal in more states than towing 2 trailers is.

Every State differs,but I know some Southern States allow multiple trailers.

The "Swivel Wheel" units Air Junky pointed out are really the way to go. Most, if not all, states consider them an addition to the trailer as opposed to another unit. That fact makes it much easier to travel without worry. The downside is, these units are very expensive. If one is a welder, making one should be that big an issue. But the swivel wheels have to be DOT certified and that makes parts expensive.

Those tires appear to be 5.70 x 8" trailer tires.They are pretty cheap.4.80 x 8" are a little smaller,common on older small trailers.They run under $30 each new,mounted on a new rim.Just have to build a spindle for the caster-wheel mount.The whole unit needs to be Hinged at the attachment-point,so that it will pivot going down the road.Not real complicated,it just needs to be built strong enough,but at the same time light enough.Hope this helps.

Yeah, it's not the tires that are expensive, it's the swivel mounting unit.

Its' actually not that complicated.One way is a 2 steel-plates with a greaseable pivot-pin thru them.Then have mount-ears on one plate for the hinge.Use thick-wall DOM Bushing-Material and Grade-8 bolts or Cold-Roll Steel-Pins.If the assembly is about 3ft wide it will carry the load and have enough stability for the load.
