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...

Several years ago there was a story in the newspaper about a couple that were going to launch their boat with their motorhome. They were having a problem getting lined up with the ramp. So....the husband got out and was going to give directions to his wife on backing down the ramp. Then an unexpected problem happened, the engine of the motorhome stalled. When power brakes lose vacuum of a running motor, you have to stand on the brake pedal. Before his wife realized what was happening, the motorhome was launched.
This scenario could happen with any vehicle launching a boat. Launching a boat on a ramp is an evolution where driver error or mechanical issue could result in a big expense, whether you use a motorhome or a pickup.
