How big is too big? How small is too small?
Just curious. When it comes to class C how big is too big and how small is too small? I would be towing a 20 foot ski boat instead of a toad so I would need something that is easy to drive around to...

On this note of the front mounted hitch.
While I was looking for my recent motor home I found one just like the one that I bought,see signature,and it had a front mounted hitch.
I asked the owner why. He was an avid fisherman and being retired he would go 2 or 3 times a week. He saw others that did it with P/U trucks and liked the idea. He had a hard time seeing the boat when backing and had to get out and see if it was deep enough to float and once he did submerge the rear of the RV to get it launched,tires were wet and spun when leaving,giving him a sinking feeling.
With the front mounted hitch and a 2 FT extension he could see where the boat was going and could put it in where he wanted,never getting the front submerged, and keeping the rear tires on dryer land with better traction,he said that some of the ramps that he used were very steep.
He did say it took a bit of learning so he practiced in a shopping mall parking lot,said he got a lot of funny looks but could,after a little practice,do S patterns and put it anywhere he wanted,a plus on a crowded boat ramp.
He did say a few times he got applause after a successful launch and a lot of questions.
