Travel Trailer AND Boat
We just sold our motorhome and bought a travel trailer. The problem
we're facing now is how to combine a weekend of camping and boating. We used to pull our 14' G3 open boat behind the MH but don't think we qualify for one of those Long Load signs and pulling it behind the trailer. LOL Has anyone heard of a carrier that could be used in the back of the pickup with the 8' foot bed? You know, like basically taking the cradle off of the boat trailer, angling it up so we could back the pickup up to the water, use the 12 volt winch to ease it down into the water and reverse the process when loading it back on the pickup. Or maybe a system that pivots down to the side of the rack above the pickup to set the boat into the water and then to reverse the process and turn it upside down on the overhead pickup rack? I know it sounds crazy but I suppose anything might be possible with all of the other contraptions they build for camping and boating use. I realize the bow would be above the pickup cab but that would be necessary so the stern wouldn't interfere with the travel trailer tongue and propane tanks, etc. Any ideas for this setup or companies that do this sort of thing or should we forget it and just either give up boating or give up the overnight camping on the weekends. I know we'd miss doing both like before. Berta |
