ABSTRACT:
A roadable semitrailer made up of individual trailers each having a trailer frame supported on spaced apart road wheels and a towbar for towing each trailer as a separate trailer unit. Each towbar is connected to the trailer frame by opposed brace members which may be reconnected to the towbar at spaced apart points to provide for moving the towbar between a substantially normal working position with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheels and an inclined working position for connection to a dual coupler for operating the trailer units side by side as a dual trailer. Alternatively, the individual trailer towbars may be removed and replaced by a common towbar for both trailers or a dual trailer towbar with spaced couplers may be interposed between a tow vehicle and the couplers of the separate trailer units. Transverse removable beams are adapted to interconnect the frames of each trailer unit when the trailer units are disposed side by side. The trailer is particularly useful for transporting plural recreational vehicles such as personal watercraft, snowmobiles or motorcycles, for example, wherein, occasionally, use of each vehicle at a different location, or use of only one vehicle is desired and the dual trailer may be separated for transport of each vehicle on its own trailer unit.
