Class A and boats

Go for it, this guy did!

Depends on the ramp. I haven't done it before myself, but I would do it if the ramp was wide enough to drive straight down and turn around at the bottom. But I wouldn't try and back it down a tight fitting ramp or a really long one. I've seen people do it before and it can be done. I also would not try and do it at a crowded ramp where I'm going to back everybody else up.

"Anything's possible",.....but you will find out it's not worth it. I've even done it with my big Dutch Star. And, 4 motorhomes ago I tried a front hitch arrangement. I found out it's not the way to go either.
The only way I will do it now is for me to tow the boat with the motorhome, and for my wife to follow me with the GMC 4x4 Envoy. My Envoy is the perfect vehicle for launching the boat, and the perfect vehicle for running around when living in the motorhome, and the perfect vehicle for towing behind the motorhome (on non-fishing trips), and the perfect vehicle for use as my daily driving when we are at the home base.

Were it me, I would offer to pay someone at the ramp with a truck to launch and retrieve.

If you have a DP, I would be concerned about the possibility of getting the engine that close to the water. On the other hand the weight of the engine would help traction on a slick ramp.

A gasser might not have enough rear weight bias to prevent wheel spin.

I too would like a beach chair and beer. I's always been great fun to long around launch ramps anyway, this would be doubly entertaining.

It can certainly be done but will not be as convienent. If there is a large rear overhang, the trailer will react far more quickly than with a truck and you will likley need more space to manuver due to the length of the combined rig.

I'm assuming the rig isn't horribly underpowered. It would be embaressing to not be able to pull the boat up the ramp. There should be plenty of traction for the rear drive wheels.

You can do it if it is a gasoline motorhome. You can not do it if it is a diesel pusher. Your engine would be under water in some launch ramps with a diesel pusher.
