I am sure the rig will function just fine, but it is far from equivalent to the OTR rigs that have 2 drive axels, 8 tires on those axels, 2 speed differential, 15 or 18 speed transmissions and a huge king pin (5th wheel) supporting the trailer(s)
Not to mention the number of friction surfaces used when braking 
I’ll leave this one to you if it becomes available on the used market

Yes, it looks like the Jet skis are on their own trailer. Makes sense, the Jeep is then used to get them in the water.
OTOH, the tongue is facing the front of the trailer. That could make it interesting getting the trailer and jet skis on and off.

And...there are several manufacturers that rate their hitches for 18k to 20k+ & the frame/chassis is built strong enough to support them..(newer coaches, older were 10k to 15k)

Wears me out just thinking about loading/unloading that setup! It takes me a couple of hours to load my 20 ft flatbed with my ATV and Spyder with Doggie trailer.

The trailer is likely an electric hoist platform with a winch at the front - so they just lower the top plate once the Jeep is off, and then let out the winch slowly to lower the jetskis to the ground. Then you can turn them and hook to the Jeep - or if you are really spiffy, have a ball on the golf cart and use THAT to move them around.

Just think how much fun he has parking, turning on city streets, driving on narrow highways, fueling, low bridges, mtn passes.
It's like my old GTO, never misses a gas station. 4 mpg? 150 gal. $400 fillups every 400 miles?

Looks to me like a good candidate to upgrade to a truck conversion motorhome

I don't see it as any different from pulling a car trailer.
Standard width trailer and no higher than the motorhome. Just looks higher because it's closer to the camera.
I'm jealous...

Mine works too, but is not quite the attention getter. I pull the bassboat with my Dutch Star, and my wife follows in the GMC 4x4 Envoy. I'm envious of the youth, the energy, and the money that guy has. That's what makes him the winner.
