Guys, anyone tow their bass boat with a rv? Just curious if you can back down ramps like a pick up?

I'm towing with a truck camper!
Alumacraft Pro185 Yamaha F90 Minn Kota Maxxim 24V 70 Humminbird 999 & 859
The bigger/longer the RV, the more difficult it can become. I pull mine with a 39 footer and it can be a little tough at times. HOWEVER, once you get it turned around and heading down the ramp, it not much different. It also really helps to have a back-up camera, because when the boat is going straight, you can't see it !!
Ranger Boats / Mercury Motors
G Loomis Rods / Shimano Reels
Raymarine / MinnKota Ultrex
Garmin / Live Scope Plus
Pepper Jigs / Robo Worms
Troll Bridge / V-T2 Vents
I towed my 18ft cc with my 35 Georgie Boy. It takes a little bit to get used to it, the giant overhang behind the drive axle really turns the boat faster than you expect. Like he said, a backup camera makes it easy-peasy.
I had a RoadTrek and pulled a 186 Triton. No problem but I learned one thing, when backing down a ramp put in neutral. Failure to do so and you may slide all the way to the water.
Cant get pic to post

With my truck camper, backing down a small aluminum boat requires me to
purposely 'oversteer' a bit to either side a couple of times, just so I can better monitor
where the boat is going. My 'serpentine' route probably looks funny, but it works and
gets easier/more efficient after a couple of launches.
Do not take your half in the middle ....
