Towing a SxS UTV behind rig

Do any of our members tow some type of trailer behind thier fifth wheel to carry a golf cart or UTV? What type of trailer are you using and have you had any problems with state restrictions? Looking for a way to take our Kawasaki Teryx with is on our summer travels.

I use a swivel wheel trailer and here are the tow laws.

If I get caught I plan on telling the officer that "I know Ozz".

Dave when we went out west in 2010 I saw alot of 5ers in SD with large boats behind them. I would make sure I had a good hitch and not the small factory one. I agree that those would be suspect with 2 bikes on them.

Mike have you had any trouble with bearings on the small wheels on the swivel wheel trailer. we used to have problems with boat trailers the little wheels turn real fast on the road? just wondering. they look like a good setup.

Two suggestions:

- We had an 07 3400 and were advised not to tow anything behind it, I'd check with Keystone.
- Before you attempt to tow more with an 07 2500 series truck, I'd check the GCWR.
