Been towed also, tow truck with stinger. Just ensure when trying to a get tow truck out, your clear about the weight they will be picking so they send big enough truck.
As to launching we generally are off loaded, mostly so were not packing up camper. If not, easier (for me) to unload camper to launch. Plus camper can be used while truck sets all day.
I would disagree with the "right way" and defining another way as "laziness". Depending on the ramp and water depth (regardless of the Im in a hurry crowd) If camper on I drive in with front hitch (the unhitching/hitching turning around etc would be done above). Local ramp is shallow angle, I need to enter pretty far to get boat off, which would submerse rear of camper.
Launching from front with camper on, way easier than backing, still dont like it & would rather off load. Feels like putting all a days winnings on red 14-But folks do it every day.
