Sure but backing up is going to be a trick.

[font size="3"]No problem. Tinkeringtechie is going to build me a microprocessor controller for all the trailer brakes. Now which way do I turn the wheel?

Probably should have him go ahead and build that part right into the controller, as well as a bottle opener.

Can the Jeep tow this?



These are not Photoshopped. They occurred while we were stopped at a rest stop  8-)

[/font][/quote]I'll get right on it... but how are we going to get the tongue weight up? I think this particular arrangement would lift the back of your truck in the air. Maybe flip the WD brackets to hold down the truck?

Maybe two WDHs in series, one on each trailer. Rear one transfers weight back to the CL tongue. I hope the CL frame can take it!

That sounds like a good approach. Your camplite probably could take it thanks to that reinforced bumper.
