Can I pull behind a Reflection 150 230RL
Hello:
We love our 2019 Reflection 150 series 230RL, but would like to pull a quad trailer behind. I can find no information regarding this idea. Where would I look? The quad trailer loaded would weigh less than 1,500 pounds with a hitch weight less than 500 pounds. Is this doable and safe for the fifth wheel?
Thanks tico333

A few things to consider on this subject. Some states allow double towing, some do NOT. And then there is the overall length laws that mandate the total length of the vehicles. And that requirement/law goes state by state also, just like the double towing regulation. So in order to double tow, it must be legal in the state that you are in and the state that you will be travelling in....And the overall length of the truck/trailer/trailer must not be over the limits prescribed by that particular state. It will take some google foo to locate that info in a search, but it is certainly out there for you to find.

Also, I think that some states may require a specific license (or endorsement) to tow trailers of longer length.

It's not length; it's the combination GVWR (usually over 26,000 lbs. combined with a trailer > 10,000 lbs. GVWR). Last count, I think there were 13 states that require a non-commercial exempt class A license. There are maximum lengths for truck and trailer(s), but they don't have anything to do with the drivers license requirements.

It's doable. I don't know if the Reflection 150 has a factory hitch. If it does it has a 300# tongue weight rating.
Check the state overall length rules. Here in Ontario it is 75 feet. I pull a 16'5' bowrider aluminium boat behind our Reflection. I'm 73 feet long.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins SRW w/Aisin
