Towing mods with cabover
I have still been tempted to get a cabover although the bang for the buck from trailers is tempting me. I like that I can tow my boat with the cabover. I have a 2017 Ford F-250 short bed and I was looking at a used Lance mide 2000's 825 and a few others like the 845 or 815 or an older Eagle cap 850. there seems to be several levels of modifications to tow. So, I am trying to figure out what I am going to need to do to tow my boat. I am going to say my boat and trailer is around 5000lbs. Its a Sanger V215 if anyone is familiar. List weight for the boat is 3100lbs, plus the trailer of about 1000-1500lbs, plus gear and gas. Most of the cabovers I have been looking at don't have a ton of overhang. The Lance 826 has a 8'6" floor and the 845 has an 8'11" floor I believe. My bed is 6'9" long. I think my boat has more than enough tongue distance that I don't need to extent the entire length added. Any input? Also, would you just lower the tailgate with those campers in place or take it off?
