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...

37ft Class A towing Seadoo = launched many a time down ramps using a drop hitch and rear wheels hardly ever touched water of the RV. We have never towed auto in over 17 years of many extended trips, and only hired a vehicle twice (one in LV to explore further afield for 4 days and once in Anaheim for 3 days to explore fast and furious attractions).
Going to the other question on exploring around towns etc: The reason we RV is for the freedom and versatility it gives us to stop and go as and when we please, and to get away from an overly governed scheduled life. We never find it a problem to organize our travels around places we want to stop and see and we love, love, love to dry camp/boondock so not reliant on hookups whatsoever, and avoid CG's and their "rules" like the plague. Not saying we wouldn't change it up a bit to an action packed resort for 2 or 3 days if the mood takes us, but that would be like a mini vacation from our vacation so to speak, and a very rare occurrence.
Basically tow or not tow, take cycles, Uber, public transit, whatever. YOU decide, because ....... anything the mind can conceive is possible and achievable. Up until last handful of years, our vacations were like an assault course to experience as much as we could over shorter time frames. Past few years, we've taken more time to smell the roses, and next year with a strong wind, and stronger RE market behind us we should be FTing. YEAH!
Another "comfort of mind" thing you might consider - offer (although they'll likely all say NO you are welcome) maybe $5 or $10 to a guy with a truck that's already there, to launch for you if you are nervous of a specific ramp. It's amazing how kind folks are, but in all reality you'll likely be fine doing it with your C series anyway.
