Great minds...View attachment 26246
We tend to "overpack" for trips as well. I don't like to leave anything behind, and my wife says we're the modern day Beverly Hillbillies when we're all packed up.
Here are a few pics of us heading out for the weekend, one recent, one old.

I see you are in Dallas.... I thought that was illegal in Texas....
Yup, your wife is right, that's nuts!

wow, that is very long. I can see the freeway is fine, but how do you drive into McD's or normal streets with right/left turns ?
Must run up a few curbs now and then ?

Decided to look it up... yep, it is illegal... surprised you do not get tickets... from Texas offenses....

Pull More than One Trailer or Other Vehicle (when not
authorized to do so)

It all tracks pretty well behind me, I have to swing a bit wider than just one trailer but not much more. I haven't had trouble negotiating surface streets or campgrounds. The only hassle is refueling -- it's difficult to fit into normal gas stations. Sometimes I can fit, but there's too much hanging out into the street.
I believe you're looking at the wrong section. The Texas DPS website has a pretty straightforward section detailing trailering requirements. Here is the quote from their section on vehicle combinations and length:
Vehicle Combinations
Texas Transportation Code 621.205.
Here's a link to the webpage covering multiple trailers.
- A combination of not more than three vehicles, may be coupled together if the combination of vehicles, other than a truck-tractor combination, is not longer than 65 feet.
https://www.dps.texas.gov/cve/length.htm
I verified this in person at the DPS office before attempting it, so I'll stick with my claim that it's legal.
