How many take boats with them?
Just wondering how many people bring a boat along with their RV to the campgrounds?

- I do:
- Kayaks count? :B check my profile.
We take them on half our trips or more... lots of sight seeing & fishing! :C
Mike - A boat...as in one? Nah, we take two. A canoe is a marriage test we prefer not to study for. She goes her way, I go mine. Yes.."TECHNICALLY" they are registered as a BOAT. Even if the OP was probably thinking along the lines of something with a putt-putt on the back.

With the Jeep off trailer the boat lowers down by winch/cable system and than it becomes a boat trailer to launch and load boat, boat/motor weighs around 650 lbs, I tow the trailer behind Jeep when going to the River/Lake. timmac wrote:
How do you load and unload the boat? With the motor it has to have a little weight to it.
I bring a boat almost every where I go and my Jeep, thinking of adding a canoe or paddle board to my setup, never have to make 2 trips to get boat..

:C- I've taken mine, a '99 Bayliner 2050LS, a couple of times. Usually need a pickup to put it in & out of the water though. It's really not a problem, the lake we usually go to is only 6 miles from the house, but we take motorhome, and make a weekend of it.

:C - We have a 12' Porta Bote, Alpha. It sites on the top of the Toad. The Alpha series has the folding transom, and doesn't fold as flat as the older series botes. Folded, it is more like 7". I thought that was probably too wide to stick on the side of our Motorhome.
-Michael - Most of the time we take a canoe with us, either the Kevlar "go fast" one or a Royalex for rougher water.
