Do you launch a boat with your Class C?
Thinking about selling our small 5th wheel and purchasing a used 28'-31' Class C. We are a family of 4. Reason for change: So I can tow my 17' fishing boat!! Do any of you launch a boat with you...

Yes just about any motor-home can launch a boat. The reason that most people put a hitch on the front (actually 2 reasons) is the following -
1. At a lot of boat launches, the ramp is very slick with algae or seaweed and in some cases very shallow - making you put the back end of the vehicle in the water or very steep making traction a problem. plus some people have a hard time backing up something that they can not see in most cases.
and
2. The front hitch keeps the rear wheels on generally dry surfaces for good traction and it sometimes makes it easier for the driver to maneuver something the can see rather than backing up blind
