Put a ball hitch on the front bumper of your truck. When it comes time to
launch the boat. hook the trailer up to the front ball and you will find
that boat launching is easier than it's ever been.

Of course, you can only use this configuration when launching or retrieving
your boat. The hitch on the back is the one that you need to use for towing
on the highway.

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...
