It's not legal in most states, and shouldn't be done in the states where it is legal. Unless you have an intercom or a 2 way radio, how do you know the passengers are okay back there? Even in a motor home everyone should be seated and seat belted in place.
As to pulling two trailers, it really doesn't matter what the law in in the state you are going through. Is it legal in your home state? If yes, you can do it any state. If it's not legal in your state, and you come into Oklahoma without Oklahoma plates on the truck, you will get a ticket if it's not legal in your state.
Also if you do, the first vehicle must be a 5th wheel to go tandom. California also requires a class A license if I remember right.

I don't know the law about pulling 2 trailers in different states, but I can tell you that no you are not supposed to have someone in a 5th wheel trailer while driving. 5th wheels are not passanger vehicles, they're basically small motor homes - built to live in not drive in.

in the U. S. and maximum states, it is legal using way it is linked to the towing motorized vehicle. the possibilities of it growing to be disconnected at the same time as in action are astronomical. besides the undeniable fact that it is a secure, dissimilar states are reconsidering the legallity of allowing that because of rollovers, head-on collisions, and no provisions for the fifth wheel inspections for proper operation and protection. Trucking businesses already have the inspection regulation in position through the ICC, which regulates trucking.

I think in Wyoming it's legal. That was also ten years ago so I don't really know.
