    Hello

    New to the RV world and just purchased a used 32 foot motorhome. My wife and I are planning to take it from Lisle Illinois to Carlsbad, New Mexico. I want to tow my 18 foot boat with but not sure about a couple of things.
    Can I launch it with the motorhome? I am very confident driving this rig.
    If I go to a RV park do I have to unhook it and if so where do I put it.

    Would like to get some insight from season RVers who have taken a boat with.

    Thanks
    Marc

    Old thread, but this is also my concern. Hope that someone here has personal experience doing it. I saw from other forums that it can be done as long as you are very cautious, and you are not allowing the rear tires of your RV to touch the water. I've heard also that using a weight distribution system like Blue Ox makes launching and pulling a boat more stable.
