Launching a boat with a class c

Do you use your rv to launch your boat. Discuss.
  • I have used my father in laws class C before to launch my boat. You wont have an issue. As with launching boat with any 2wd, just keep the rear tires out of the water. Can be done with ease. Use the winch to pull the boat on the trailer if need be, that's what its there for.
  • I always wanted to try this with my class A, but I have seen non four wheel drive pickups unable to get up out of slippery ramps. I once saw a truck end up in the water because of a slippery ramp. It might be that ocean water in a back bay is the culprit.
  • I haven't done it but have seen it done lots of times with C's and A's. So long as there is room to maneuver on the boat ramp, I haven't seen any issues launching with a motorhome.
  • My friend and I have taken my boat with his class C and done several launchs. When the cack up camera died we went to walkie talkies with me on the dock giving simple precise directions when needed. Practice in a nearby parking lot. Set the parking brake if driver gets out and make sure it sticks.
