57ft I cruised this whole rig today for the first time. Just practicing some corners with it. I hope I don't have to parallel park!! This thing is a pig, but it's a blast. Be seeing you at Bremerton/Pacific soon.

It's definitely good to practice with a setup like that. It looks like you'll be having fun. If you ever need advice on how to handle a rig like that, just ask one of us professionals.

Always plan ahead and never back up unless there is no other option. Please tell me you had the hitch looked at and it is rated for that enclosed trailer. Seems a lot of RV's come with hitches only rated for tow bars or car dollys.

Nice rig...something that long is a handful. Mine is 66 feet bumper to bumper and my biggest fear is not being able to complete a turn in town.
It's pretty difficult to see what the rear end is doing once you start your turn.
Wonder if some kind of closed circuit video camera mounted to the trailer would help.
What do you pro's do?
When I was in Oregon some of those guys are hauling three trailers and don't seem to have a care in the world.

As for the triple trailers, they're actually not as difficult as your super long single trailer because they track in line better.
