Toys (boat) and Class C

Undecided on which way I am going to buy, 5th wheel, 5th TH or now maybe a class c. I think the Class C is worse case option unless your feedback proves otherwise.

So as far as your toys go (boat) when you get to campground/lake and you wanna load boat to water you just unhook everything, everytime you need to either load or unload boat, if no slip is avail? Or hav8ng someone else bring the truck as well?
  • We towed our jetskis with our Class C for 16 years. It was a 26.5 foot Fleetwood Jamboree, with a fair bit of rear overhang. We used ramps all over the west, both lake and ocean. We did have to unhook from power/water/sewer in order to launch,mount it was not that big a deal. We would often leave the RV near the water all day, and move it back to the full hook ups after pulling the jetskis out at the end of the day.

    It sure beat sleeping on the ground.

    I pull ATVs during the winter months and Jet Skiis during the summer months, but where I go, I can either leave them anchored overnight (small cove, 3 skiis cabled/locked together) or I use a tote to pull them out individually. I would leave the boat anchored in the water (when I had a boat), but of course that may not be an option where you go.

    However, I often have friends that come down with a TT; so they unhook and we use their tow vehicle if needed for launching :).

    I would never own a TT or a 5er for just that reason; no way to take my toys down without double towing or driving a second vehicle.
  • Put a hitch on the front and go for it, that's what I did. There are compromises
    for bringing toys.
