if i go with the weight distribution hitch it will raise my tow weight to 10,000lbs and tongue weight to 1,000lbs

 

Did you measure that camper tongue weight with the boat hooked on behind it?

 

Sheesh, enough already. It's just a freakin' touch of almond extract and some toffee. Dang!!

no i havent lol heck its a small boat behind a small trailer behind a very big truck lol the most is 150 miles lol

 

You shouldn't have a problem. The two tongue weights were a concern just in case you had a Negative effect from the boat. The reason you keep the lighter one to the rear is to prevent fish-tailing, or, worse...jackknifing

 

awww a camping and boating whe shall go ! happy spring!lol

 

UPDATE! well i recieved and e-mail from the senior motor carrier agent at modot! they say you can legally tow your boat behind camper if your overall length does not exceed 65 feet , overall length is from the front of your truck to the rear of the last thing you are towing!not good for me im at 70 feet!what to do now? buy another truck sell my boat,store my boat at one lake only?just a little fyi! :-(

 

How far away is the lake? Is making two trips an option?

Oh wait...better idea...buy lots of beer, and invite me!!! You tow one, I'll tow the other!!

 

It's only 5 feet... put red flags on it and GO!

 

I liked my idea better...

How ya feelin Tom?

 

yuck. maybe your idea IS better! altho when I hauled cars, that is how I got past over-length.

 

well good idea! we wanted to try different lakes.we always went to mark twain lake.were my neighbors mom has property an i could leave the boat and camper up there.pull camper early in season and then take the boat when it got warmer!then left them there.

 

update: well we got a chev trail blazer today to tow the boat! there was no way i was giving up my early 99 f-350 crew cab xlt to shorten my length
