Towing 6000 lbs boat behind gas class A
I am at an RV show now and the wife likes the 2016 Thor Miramar 34.2. I am questioning the salesman in the towing capacity as I have a 4500 lb boat on an approximate 1200 pound double axle trailer. H...

If the OP is not worried about the boat ramp, why are we? Since he goes there often, he may have a friend with a truck if it's a difficult ramp.

I think carringb has summed it up the best and I'd keep my weights down, hook it up and go. You will not even know it's back there if you manually gear down going up and down major hills.
OP is not worried about boat ramp and NEITHER am I.
BUT I WAS asking a "legit" question, the OP answered it.
BUT once again when READING the OP's response I THOUGHT WHY EVEN WORRY ABOUT TOWING CAPACITY OF THE CLASS A WHEN THE OP ALREADY HAS A EMPTY TRUCK.
Sure I was asking a rather obvious question, but what the hey, it NEEDED to be asked..
As I see it, OP's DW does not feel comfortable driving the Class A or not comfortable towing a boat with the truck..
Once again another obvious question pops up..
Why worry about the Class A capacity when the OP is PLANNING TO USE THE TRUCK TO GO BACK AN FORTH TO THE RIVER ANY WAY.
Heck the OP can drive class A, DW can drive the empty truck to the river one weekend without the boat.. Then the following weekend TOW the BOAT to the river..
ONE "WEEKEND" without the boat certainly should not kill the weekend without a boat..
Many creative ways to do this...
