Tow a trailer behind 5th wheel trailer in Oregon?
Illegal in Oregon.
I have a car trailer was wondering if i could also hook a 4 by 6 trailer on to to pull my sons gokart?
If you mean hooking a small trailer behind a bigger trailer behind your truck, no. You can only triple-tow in certain states and provinces and only if the first trailer is a fifth wheel.
Is it possible to tow a trailer behind a 5th wheel trailer?
it is possible but some states don't allow it.
Can you tow a Suzuki Samurai behind another vehicle?
Yes, but you need a two wheel car trailer.
Is a fifth wheel trailer easier to handle than tow behind trailers?
It can be, yes. As the fifth wheel is mounted directly above the drive axle, it turns directly on the pivot point, as opposed to a trailer pulled on a bumper mounted hitch, which extends past the pivot point of the tow vehicle.
What is the difference between a travel trailer and a camping trailer?
A camping trailer is in reference to a pop up camping trailer. I travel trailer would be a tow behind trailer that stays up all the time, and a Fifth Wheel trailer is a larger trailer that is both pulled and part of it is connected in the bed of your truck.
Can you tow a fifth wheel with a Toyota Tundra?
yes.
Can you tow a Jeep compass?
On a trailer, yes. Four wheel down, no.
How do you make a home-made axle?
Need more info to help you. What will the axle fit, a wheel barrow, a small yard wagon, a larger tow behind trailer?
Is the towing capacity different with a fifth wheel?
No! But it does make towing a better experience. Check your owners manual for ratings and tongue weights. IIRC, there will be a difference in tongue weights that are different between tag trailers and 5th wheel/goosenecks. Towing a 7000 lb trailer that uses the receiver hitch will tow a lot better if the same weight trailer is a 5th wheel or a gooseneck trailer.
The fifth is a kind of octave?
A "Fifth Wheel" is a type of tow hitch for heavy loads. No, the fifth is not one kind of the octave.
How do fifth wheels balance?
As you didnot specify RV, Tractor trailer, Trailer dynamics or truck dynamics my question will speak directly to RV situations. The hitch loading on an RV fifth wheel hitch is designed to be between 10% and 15% of overall trailer weight. This is determind by trailer design and axle placement. In the Tractor trailer world they can move the trailer axles, The fifth wheel hitch location and plan the loading to achive the goal of roughly 1/2 trailer weight or less on the hitch. The Trailer looks like it balances on a pedistal and in a way it does. The trailer axles provide the stability side to side for the trailer. Just like a tricycle. The advantage of the Fifth Wheel set up is that the trailer does not have any leverage on the truck to make the truck turn or sway in cross winds or other poor conditions. I am sure you have seen video of trailers swaying out of control and pushing the tow vehicle into the ditch.
