Better yet, have a hitch ball installed on the front bumper, drop the
trailer near the ramp, re attach to the front, then calmly drive the boat
in. Just a thought!!

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...

In case you don't see the other reply: Why not just open the doors of
the camper when backing the boat? Then use the rear view in the truck,
or look through the back window.
