Looking at a 2016 282rkx

I am looking at buying the 282rkx. Has anyone heard of pulling a boat with the unit? Any issues with the rear kitchen and attaching a boat?

Appears the rv is well made.

thoughts?

thanks in advance

Double towing is not legal in some states. You need to do some research before going that route.
Some states that allow it, require the first trailer to be a 5th wheel BUT there are length restrictions.

understood as I pull like that now. Wasn't sure how a rear living would do with a tow behind it. Do all the wildcats have backup cameras?

Doubt they did back in 2016.

Mine is not a Wildcat but my 282RK is 35ft long. I wouldn’t tow a boat behind it. Tail heavy lends itself to potential sway issues. I load as much as I can in the front and fill my fresh water tank as well.
