I think you have a great idea here. I would love to pull our camper up to the river and have the boat there. I too would be worried about the flooding as it seems like the Cedar is always flooding. I enjoyed our Jayco and it was decent quality. If you decide on a Jayco, I just wanted to let you know that RV one here in Des Moines will probably beat everyone's price. I went to RV One and then called Thompson and the price was not close. People actually come from all over the U.S. to pick up their Jayco in Des Moines from them. The only problem could be if you need local warranty service and the local dealer may not want to work on it since you didn't buy it there. I also wanted to say that we got rid of our first trailer after one year because we had to convert the dinette into a bed every night as the wife and I needed to sleep on it. You may not mind the dinette and sofa, but with my 10 year old and 6 year old, we sure enjoy that they have their own bunk and we have a permanent queen bed. Just my thoughts.
