Hi,

I want to go fishing/camping in my 1990 Nissan with a SMALL camper
(I think they're called "camperettes") on the back, towing my small boat
(12ft aluminum skiff, with some addons like a floor so I can't just heave
it on top).

The problem: even the smallest of campers are wider than the truck, and
I don't think I could see the boat at all behind me. How do you back it
down the ramp? REALLY wide mirrors (there goes the ol' fuel economy!)?
Closed-cct tv? Surely there are others that do this...

A friend of mine had that problem backing an empty boat trailer down the
ramp. I was out in boat and could see that the trailer dropped below the
line of vision when starting down the ramp. A guy finally offered to do it
for her, and he simply drove way down the wide ramp, turned, and pulled back
up the ramp until everything was straight. He then backed it straight down
into the water.
