[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 479512, member: 27114"] Something I'd thought of when I was traveling a lot....and wanting my cake and be able to eat it, too - I had a 33 ft travel trailer and had the same problem - can't tow anything behind it, as you can with a 5'er. I thought of extending the frame in "front" of the body to move the hitch farther out and build a platform in the new space, but never did get to it. A few weeks ago, I saw one going thru town that had just that done. Wish I'd chased him down for a picture now. He'd extended the frame of about a ~25 ft travel trailer about 8 ft and built a large cargo area in front of the camper section, behind the hitch and was carrying 2 ATVs on there. It looked a little strange, but no denying the practicality of it. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to picture a jon boat on something like that with the bow up on the trailer via a unit such as people use to load their boats on the roof of a truck canopy. The motor, gas tank, etc. could go in a lock box under the boat. [/QUOTE]
