Yup, it's a truck camper on a trailer with a side-by-side on the back. Was hard to get a good picture but I took the best I could while driving.

Phil you would think any highway patrol seeing this would kick him off the road!
Hi Langely,

Not really as we see much the same heading South toward the Mexican Boarder in similar fashion. Sonora Plated vehicle piled high above with everything imaginable. They should be pulled over but State Troopers turn their head. Common occurrence is to see a load dumped all along I 19 with clothes, furniture and mattresses in the vehicle lanes. These old pickups are stacked high with goods gotten from Garage Sales in Tucson, Green Valley and so on. We marvel at what they pile high along with a towed vehicle towing a vehicle behind a loaded truck.... Just flat unbelievable.
If we can go a year without having to dodge a mattress in the vehicle lane , it is a rare occurrence....

Maybe some time I will take a picture of one or two of this vehicles we encounter, but driving, I pay attention to the road and the wife has not mastered taking a cellphone picture at this point...

Best,

Never reversed doubles or triples before, but this looks like a lot of fun doing just that...:shock:

We had trailers at work that were similar. They could extend to hold a 90 foot power pole and the front axle was a 5th wheel with about 8 foot long tongue with pintle hook (double pivot). They turned great in the city but backing up was reversed from a conventional trailer. It took me years to get good at backing them and was always fun to watch a newbee try it!

I was about 13 or 14 when my Dad taught me how to reverse a trailer with his archaic '41 Ford panel delivery. If he were alive now, he'd surely think sorcery was involved in modern day trailer towing technology.
The trailer was a cement mixer, any miscalculated steering input would send that mixer veering wildly off of it's intended path.
Sure paid off, reversing a 2 piece ladder truck years later without a tiller driver was a piece of cake.
