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...

I launch both a deck boat and aluminum fishing boat at times. The deck boat is much easier a I can see it in the mirrors and make corrections backing. The little boat is hidden and by the time you see it, it is well on the way to jack knifing. I need the backup cam for that one. Otherwise, it is no harder than with a truck. Turning around on the ramp - drive down and make a u-turn on the ramp is a weird feeling. You think you are going to roll! Doesn't happen though.
You touched on the main problem which is having to take the boat out and put in back on the trailer each day. Your MH sits in the parking lot instead of the campground getting hot. In the west, our lakes are mostly public land and have few marinas. When they do, a slip costs more than an RV site. The shores are usually rocky and will tear up the boat if you beach. We will sometimes anchor offshore using an anchor buddy.
