Can you see your boat behind 32 winnabago ,trying to put down ramp are pulling out of water.?

Answer 1

At best, you're going to get just a glimpse of the side of your boat from your RV's mirrors.  There are two things you can do to improve your visability while launching and recovering your boat...

1)  Install a back-up camera system in the RV, so you can watch the boat and trailer on the video monitor mounted in the driver's compartment of the RV.

Or

2)  Mount a trailer hitch on your RV's front bumper, so you can hook the boat trailer to the front of your RV and push it into the water in full view of the front of the RV.  

I found the second option to be much easier to operate, and much better for negotiating those long, steep boat ramps... Of course, you will have to unhook and reconnect the trailer to drive on the road, but the convenience of seeing the boat and trailer while launching and recovering is worth it.

Answer 2

First answer correct. The longer the boat the easier to see.

But, do not despair. You not need to see it to back it. If, your mirrors are adjusted correct you can see down the sides of the RV. As you back you will see the boat if it start to go left/right and you turn the RV to compensate. If, you go slow and steady and think it will back easy. If, you wait too long the boat and RV going to look like a snake headed for water. The boat be off a lot then you try to compensate and can not see one side well until the boat headed out on that side and, Well, you should see what I saying.

Answer 3

Depends on the size of the boat and how your mirrors are positioned. Install an aftermarket video system on the RV, and have it come on only when the vehicle is in reverse. That would be your best bet.
