Using 5er As A Tow Vehicle!!!

I wish I had a pictre to study and share with you but I only saw this very briefly yesterday.

It looked like a commercial MDT cab and frame that had what looked like a home made box behind the cab. The box was hugh. Have no idea what it's purpose was. Perhaps a workshop?

This truck was towing what must have been a 39 or 40 foot fiver. (Didn't recognize the brand but it was not a Montana!) And then behind the 5th wheel there was a car in tow!!!

The sight of this setup was unbelievable. I was going the opposite direction so only caught a brief glimpse. This rig was pulling into a gas station that did not have any straight pull through service islands. He'd eventually have to make a very sharp turn or back up! I sure wish I'd have had time to stop to study the rig and watched to see how he got out of this perdiciment!!!

Keystone doesn't put any kind of hitch on their units and threatens to void the frame warranty if the owner modifies or attaches anything to the frame.

Have any of you seen a 5th wheel that came with a factory installed 3,000 to 5,000 pound hitch?
