Motor home, hummer and a boat?

Some days my boss just makes my life hell with his idea's.
So here's his latest.... stolen from a company out of business. "Last I heard"

He wanted to take his mh, hummer and boat camping and only tow one item.

The first three pictures are our rendition.

We're still working out the details but the boat infact rolls up and my fab time has been two weeks.

Such a sacrifice to get to play around, create stuff AND GET PAID FOR IT! Pretty cool man. That calls for one of our Southern phrases..."hey ya'll, watch'is".

Don't need a trailer for the boat, just a jig and a winch. Back that bad boy right down the ramp and float er off.

When the boat is feet higher than the camper AC..... Only bad things can happen, imo. "Not only can my boat 'fly'.... it landed on my camper". "When the sign said 'Low Overpass'.... it really did not mean ME".....

This does not pass my "Safety first and always" motto....

What does his insurance agent say about the set up?

Other than that..... it looks like a great idea.....but does it work great.

We're "fine tuning it"
Maiden voyage sort of speaking "hasnt happened"

The highest point of the "boat" is 11' when loaded.
