Only legal behind a 5th wheel in Illinois.
That a rig.
I would like to watch someone back that boat and rig up like a boss.
Heck, let's add a small tow car in the mix with it to make it interesting!
That would take skill and planning
I think I see smoke coming off the transmission!!! :Rofl
The hardest part is backing the camper up to the boat. The boat is narrower than the camper, I can't see it in my mirrors. I do have a back-up camera on teh camper, but it can't see the ball. So I have to guess the distance. I usually stop a couple feet short, get out and check my alignment and distance. When I start backing again, I find a spot on the ground and watch it. When I reach about the same distance from it as the trailer coupler was from the ball I stop and go hook up.
At the campground, i drop the boat on the side of the road, back the camper into my site, then retrieve the boat. Takes less than 5 minutes. Back the boat, truck next to the camper, then set up camp. Then it's fishing time.

In front of the house ready to roll.
I also have a camera on back of camper but cannot see the ball. Takes many check walks, usually my wife will get back there to guide me in, then I can see neither the wife or the ball, not sure how she can hide so good but she can, that way we both start the journey in a foul mood.
