I've seen several motorhomes  that were pulling a truck and a boat at the same time.  Must be fun backing it all up.

He might be over doing it a little bit though

I guessing the man with the stripe on the side of his pant's is giving him a F on legal side of it. Just slightly over on the tow rating of the trailer and the hitch receiver! Also who ever took the picture has cracked windshield.

Oh....my.....  :o

The only thing holding the RV in place are the tie downs on the pickup. That is one crazy rig.

I'm gonna guess its somewhere in Canada. I can't remember ever seeing a do not enter sign with no writing like that before on US roads.  :shruggy: man I've done some sketchy towing but that's insane. Must tow like complete crap and be near impossible to stay in your lane. Wreck less driving if you ask me.

These types come into the trans shop daily asking "I wasn't towing nothing. It just went out"?
Sure ree ree.

I'm a little puzzled as to what might be in the U Haul van.  The truck must run since he got it on the ramp so why not load all the belongings in his "house" and tow it like that?

bill440rt

Looks like there is another officer on the other side of this contraption as well. I see legs.  :yesnod:

It's a good thing for him that he didn't get spotted by highway patrol, or he'd be getting pulled over and would pay fine/would have to pay for ADDITIONAL tow truck or leave truck/5th wheel behind.

Highway Patrol?  I think the two Mounties in that photo likely gave him the same kind of grief.

If it had happened in the US, the cops would have let the U-haul driver go and went over and beat hell out of the guys taking the pics for "impeding them in their duties".

I thought you did in Alberta.

...Not for a while now.  And yes, those are RCMP Members - I'd guess Alberta as well.   :brickwall:

And we wonder why we get called rednecks and hillbillies here. One bad apple.......................

Wonder what he has hitched to the back of the RV, pic is cut off.

I'm guessing one of these setups.

Depends on the province.  Not all require front plates.

On the topic of OP; WOW!  Just because it works, doesn't mean you should...  *Sigh*
