Upgraded the tent.

Very nice setup! Does your wife go "camping" more with you now? How do the dogs like it? If I can ask, what is your tow vehicle?

Thanks for the compliments.
Triple towing is legal in 28 states, mostly the center of the US. It is illegal pretty much in all east coast states, including Florida. Also illegal in Oregon and Washington. Cali requires a special permit of some type.

The wife went tent camping with me twice on 30+ years of marriage. She wanted flush toilets, private hot showers, and ac. Gotta admit the AC is nice to have. Beats dragging the cot out of the tent to take an afternoon nap in 90+ degree summer temps.

Honestly, the towing isn't bad. The truck handles it great. Stearing is the same with or without the trailer, except turns in town. I need just a bit more space on right turns. If the camper will clear the curb, so will the boat. I have a reverse mounted camera on the back of the 5th wheel that stays on constantly when the parking lights are on. I use it to back up to the boat, and while traveling to see behind me. It's my wireless rearview mirror. Another option that came with the camper.
As for braking, the 5th wheel has dual axkes and both have electric brakes. The Ford integrated controller can handle up to 4 sets of electric trailer brakes. Granted stopping takes more time. Plus the twin turboss add engine braking. Fully loaded truck, camper, and boat I'm under 15K total.
The adventure continues.

Cannot see in pics well enough is that a F150 or ???? Good Looking outfit we do similar although our rig is older, trying to talk myself into a 1/2 ton, for fuel economy but 3/4 does the job well but 7mpg pulling ouch.

My neighbor had a saying for that - “my truck can pass anything but a gas station”! That said, plenty of power for pulling.
