Pulling a 25' boat with a 40' Bershire

[grt1014]

I have a total newb question that I hope someone help me with. I was wondering if any one has any experience trying to launch a boat at a boat ramp with the RV? I have never seen it happen at any boat ramp. Am I crazy for considering doing this? I have been launching boats from all types of ramps for many years with a pickup and I understand that some ramps just wont work because they are too steep or not steep enough.

If anyone has ANY experience with this please let me know ASAP. I sign papers and pick up my bershire 400bh on Wednesday and trailering the boat is important to me in this decision.

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks for the quick response... no problems launching at the ramps? Anything in particular I should be aware of?

I, sometimes, tow my sons 25' jet sled with my MH and there are some ramps I won't launch on. There is always someone with a pickup I can barrow to launch the boat.

That's what I was thinking to. if I have to kick them a few bucks then that would be ok too.

Any trouble backing into the water? I have backed all kind of trailers. short tongue, long tongue, 5th wheel, etc. I just have never backed one that the tow vehicle had a 22' wheelbase with only cameras.
