Why not have a receiver hitch built onto the Suites and use a carrier on the back of the trailer?
We are going to AK next summer and I plan on having a hitch built by a competent welder that will support maybe 800+ lbs. Will need bracing to keep side/side wobble to a minimum, but it won't cause a double-tow concern.
There are also some commercial-built units that attach to the rear that are actually little trailers, but aren't towed, thus can't run afoul of the double-tow laws.
