towing a vehicle with a trailer
I'm looking for ideas on towing a Grand Cherokee and a golf cart on a trailer behind my Affinity. I"m trying to stay within the 10K lb tow rating of my coach. I currently have a 20' tilt bed tandem trailer, I'm up for any mods for this trailer of maybe I'll need to start fresh with a different trailer. The golf cart is 10' long, so I'm not able to load in sideways on the trailer.

First thing I would do is check the laws on double (triple) towing in your state. Many states allow it, some do not. Some require the first towed unit to be a fiver, some don’t differentiate.
I’ve seen many double tows, but never seen one behind a MH.

I believe he was looking to tow both the car and golf cart on a single trailer.

No interested in a double tow, cart and vehicle on the same trailer

Can you ramp the front of the trailer to get the cart over the hitch a bit. A steep ramp shortens the cart.

That was one thought that I had. I was looking for someone who has already done it, with pictures. Maybe even ramp it from the side.

A Jeep GC is 19 feet long. Not a lot of room left for a golf cart

I have once seen at a California Rest Stop a person towing a car and boat on top of the RV

Get a Pickup to replace the Jeep.
Load the Golf cart into the bed of the pickup.
Tow the Pickup 4 down.

I currently have the pickup on the trailer and the golf cart in the bed of the truck. I don't want to flat tow. I want to have and SUV for my towed vehicle.
