And in camp grounds, I watched many that don't have skill level to tow 1.

Hey Bionic, not sure if that triple tow rig is yours? While I could see towing that setup, shorter distances, at lower speeds, I would consider it unsafe for towing at speed, especially in traffic. It seems the hitch wt on FW rear would be excessive too, since mine/most factory FW receivers say 300 lbs max weight.
I've towed doubles since 95, and never felt unsafe. My second trailer, carrying 2-3 motorcycles, was never more than 1,800 lbs, and tracked very nicely behind several FWs.

Why? You're an RVer. You know the First Law of RVing: "NO COMPROMISES!" That guy is not going to compromise on which toy to bring along when camping. He wants them ALL. He's going to have them ALL.
Remember the Second Law of RVing: "It's not stupid/illegal if it works!"
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.
