How do you get it in and out of that camper?

Very cool!

Probably a really LONG camper and there is a jeep in front

It's called a "toy hauler" Mark, gotta get your recreation lingo right!

Re: This is why I like my Capri 1400

I'm just curious how it is loaded & unloaded since toy haulers do not have enough room for a vehicles AND a boat trailer. Must use a bunch of people to pull it in. I doubt that boat & trailer fits all the way in anyway... why would the pic show it only part of the way in? I think he is BS'g us.

There's a winch mounted to the boat trailer, thats how I get it in.

Those attachments didn't work.

Very cool. Some states allow you to trailer a boat behind a camper, some dont. Nice solution. I'm assuming the wieght isn't an issue? I always wondered about taking one of the toy haulers and building bunks in it to pull the boat in directly. This looks a whole bunch easier. Nice job.

In the rear-on shot, it appears that the anit-ventilation plate is too low. Looks like you could raise the engine about 2 inches.

Hey sk, what do you launch it with?

Re: This is why I like my Capri 1400

Get to your destination, unload boat, set up the 5er and then use the TV to launch boat!

Re: This is why I like my Capri 1400

How do you unload it? Heck, you just drop the rear door, back up a little quick and jam the brakes!

Nice setup SK.

Re: This is why I like my Capri 1400

That's cool! The few toy haulers I've seen have just had a box on the back with a door that could be a bedroom or a place for a four wheeler. Didn't know they made them to adapt to a boat on a trailer! Makes me start rethinking my ideas for the next camper/tow vehicle. A pickup and something like this would be a lot more useful than a small RV. I don't want to even think about towing the boat behind a camper!

Frank I just checked and your right the plate is 2-1/4" below the bottom. Can I get your advice on raising the motor? The plate should be the same height as the bottom right? If I raise it up, there's going to be a gap between the top of the transom and the clamp. Is that a problem?
