I'm just now getting into the market of buying a pop up camper. Window shopping really. And all the pictures I see of these campers do not have a connection for towing. Do they make them to where you can pull something behind the camper as well?
Okay. I will just get in the market for an RV. Thx
Some (not all) states DO allow a pickup to tow two trailers, but the front one has to be a fifth-wheel hitch. It's best to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles before you commit to buy anything.

yes, it would be like pulling doubles. When you purchase a trailer, make sure that the trailer's bumper is rated to tow the boat's weight. and you would have to have an anti sway device on your yukon. You might have to ugrade the bumper or tow device on the trailer. About 3 days ago a pickup passed me towing a travel trailer(bumper hitch) with a boat behind it. But it was a fifth wheel truck. It had a converter hitch that attached to the hitch of the travel trailer.
Dont forget to make sure to wire the rear of the trailer for lights also, and check to make sure that the Yucon's electrical circuit can handle all the lights from both trailers.
One more thing, If you get this rig set up, please get to an area where you can practice driving and reversing. You can back 2 trailers, it justs takes ALOT of practice. while driving on the highway, dont do any quick manuvers and bewary of the blast of wind from the front of large trucks and busses. A small wiggle at the seering wheel is magnified at the rear of the last trailer. Good luck

It would be illegal and unsafe,a pop up doesn't have a strong enough frame for pulling.LIke someone said,if you had a fifth wheel travel trailer you could pull something behind that.
