We used to offer this on our previous models of trailers, but don't offer that feature yet on our current models.

In response to the original post, we used to haul recyclables we collected to our local recycling center using two 8' trailers. The trailers tracked well together, and it was fun to watch the long rig swing around turns .

I presume two shorter trailers would track equally well, but I have never tried a shorter combination...

Note if you are pulling two trailers that have a left-hand towbar (i.e., they are made to attach to the left rear axle of the bike) and the towbar and trailer frame are at the same height, then you will run into problems when making a sharp left-hand turn--the towbar on the second trailer will hit the rear of the first trailer under these circumstances. Under these conditions, you'll find it easier to make right-hand turns than left.
