Here you go, it's called The Automated Safety Hitch, developed by "the Henry Ford of trailer safety"....

No, I've seen those before.

I was talking about the rear of the 5th wheel trailer, and how that trailer frame/trailer structure was reinforced.

then a class 4 hitch was bolted on....so it can pull the white 14k GVW tandem axle box trailer.

Just a guess here....But I don't think this is the OP's set-up based on his intro post

http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,110986.msg1000792.html#msg1000792
You are correct.  He said he upgraded to a F250.  Only available as SRW.  Pic is a dually.
 
F350 DRW with a 9900 rawr and 6000 fawr = 15900 lb of braking.

Now add the 6k axle from the ASH = 6000 lb of braking.

Now add 7k axle on the 5er = 14000 lb of braking.

And finally the cargo may have tandem 3500 axle = 7000 lbs of braking.

Add all the braking performance = 42900 lb of braking. Plenty of stopping performance.

The bass boat is loaded on a system kinda like a roll back  on the ones I've seen anyway.
The F350 DRW may weigh in the 8500 lb range plus maybe 4500 lbs the bass boat/trailer = 13000 lb well below 15900 lb axle ratings or the 14000 gvwr.

You tube has lots of all types of towing combinations.
The only deal I see in the OP pictures is will dot look at the ASH system as another trailer.
 
longhaul, that is assuming a dry hard surface and all the brakes are set up properly. In less than ideal conditions a panic stop would get ugly in a hurry. I'm glad I am not the one trying to get into a cg or stopping for fuel.

  LOL...well that goes for any vehicle pulling a single trailer. 
 
This was a pic sent to me from a third party, i just thought it was a good pic to share, would never think of doing this.
