    There are a couple of issues. Backing a boat in with a MH can be difficult because of the length and width. If you are not leaving the boat in the water, you'll have to break camp every time you want to launch the boat.

    There are more rigs available today that have larger beds, so that will help. You are looking at a Class C or Class B MH, or even a truck camper, depending on how much interior room you want. It's a good time of year to check out a Boat/Outdoor show to see the inside of a bunch of models.

    Here are some smaller, van a bus style 4X4. I always wanted a Quigley. I don't know how long you plan to live or what kind of living you require, but I'd buy one of these for my self.

    This only my opinion, but nothing you can say will change my mind. That makes it a FACT.

    I like them front bumper hitches. I can't back a boat worth a crap. I got a front hitch on my Rhino.

    Default Wow

    Cane pole,That would realy flip me out seein a boat on the front bumper goin 65 down the interstate,backwards,,,,just remember,if you see it in the left mirror ,turn to the left,right mirror turn right,most folks I notice get in and start turning the wheel before they even start rolling,wait and see which way the dern boat trailer is goin before you turn the wheel...I grew up working with Ga.Power and pulling pole trailers all over Atlanta,only knocked down one sign,,,lol,,,ss
