Inflatable Boat and 5th wheel

Some people with 5th wheels and inflatable boats build an enclosure under the RV for the boat. I did that when we had a 5'r. Made the exterior skin out of poly-carbonate roofing panels. Frame was made with aluminum L-bar. I carried the outboard motor attached to a wood T-piece that fit into the stake holder in the pickup bed rail just behind the drivers side of the cab so it traveled upright.

Storing underneath is a great idea. Unfortunately, we already used up that space to store our portable black tank and floor jack. Thanks for the tip though. I think we're leaning toward storing it on its side in the basement area. The Tohatsu motors we're looking at can be stored on their side with the tiller down. Not ideal, but theft and clearance (5r & shortbed) become a concern if we try to store it in the bed upright.
