    Default Towing travel trailer and want to bring drift boat, any ideas?

    I have a few vacations planned this year where I will be taking my travel trailer AND would like to bring my drift 16' drift boat. Any creative ways of doing this so I do not need to make multiple trips? Looking into making a rack similar to a lumber rack for my truck. Truck is a long bed, extended cab dodge. Any suggestions would be great, thank you!

    Any chance the boat can fit in the truck bed? Even its its long, just tie it in well with a red flag on longest point. Or perhaps put the bow over the truck cab, and stern against tailgate.

    You can tow doubles (two trailers) in CA.

    CA Vehicle Code 35401 - No vehicles in combination may measure more than 65 feet in length (60’ in designated areas)

    Randy B is correct, if the driver holds a Commercial License (Class A now, used to be class 1). I had one when I was a commercial officer and drove a friend's travel trailer and boat trailer behind it. I got stopped in Fairfield after passing the scales and it took the officer a couple of minutes to realize that my license allowed for the operation of any combination of vehicles up to 65'. It wasn't fun to drive and I made up my mind before I fired up the rig that I was NEVER going to put it in reverse.
