I've pulled doubles between Indiana and Utah legally and safely. Pulling with a SRW vs DRW doesn't make it less safe. The back trailer does not require brakes in most states when it's 3000 or less and I've been routed through the scales on more than one trip and deemed legal and within limits. Backing is not that difficult. We've all seen people who can't back in one so they should probably avoid two. There are numerous pull through sites across the country that were plenty long to handle my rig. It's clearly not for everyone... and clearly not everyone doing it is qualified or operating safe and legal. I'm a noncommercial vehicle so I follow the appropriate laws. I guarantee my rig was for more safe than many of the travel trailers and 5th wheels you see whipping around behind small SUVs and pickups.
