We had a cab high camper shell and towed our Boat to go Boating. Did the trick, but cab high was very small. Then we decided to go with a larger Camper with side entrance. Looked at Lance and Host Campers. Very nice and with the side entrance, we would not have to climb over the Boat Trailer hitch. One problem with this, Weight. These things are heavy and would max out payload with my Dodge 2500. Plus at around $ 54,000 price tag, was a little heavy there too. Since that was not going to work for us, we looked at Toy Haulers. Plenty of room and at around $34,000 was more in our budget. We now have the Toy Hauler and love it. Can't tow the boat but having lots of fun camping. Since we live in a waterfront home with our own dock, it was no longer an issue towing the boat. Still miss a little of Boating at the lakes, but have done that for years. We did take the Boat up to Lake New Hogan in California and tent camped. It was fun. I am thinking of a Dodge 5500 Cab-Chassis like a tilt tow truck that would carry the Boat on trailer and tow the Toy Hauler. Park the Toy Hauler, then launch with Tilt Bed at ramp. Sounds good so far-someday.
