Throw the boat on top of the truck. Get a Trailer optimized for a family. Be realistic about how often you're gonna use it so you don't over-spend. Lots of used rigs out there that have mostly sat in a driveway.

Agree. The OP also needs to remember that teenagers say they'd like to go camping with mom/dad but after a few times, they want to stay home. re: Being with mom/dad is uncool. And since most parents don't want to leave teenagers alone, they don't go camping either. Thus... newly bought / nice looking RV sits in the driveway - rarely to be used again....
X3. I only got as far with the OP's post as -
"I also have two children just starting to break into the teenage years" - which from personal experience tells me he's in for a rude awakening. :E Once kids hit high school their interest changes and time for camping with parental units won't just become "uncool", it will become non-existent. Friends (especially the opposite sex), sports, part time jobs, school work, etc, etc, etc, will all interfere with any hopes the OP may have for camping like they did "in the good ol' days" when the kids were younger. Yeah, I know - the OP
thinks his situation is different ... but it's not. :W
