PAylor Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hi all, We just got an inflatable motor boat and a 3.5 hp motor. We still have our kayaks that we travel with. We thought this would broaden our horizons. We are brainstorming how to transport it. I am sure that someone else has done this so I turn it over to the experts. We have a 38 foot fifth wheel and a long bed truck. The fifth wheel has a 1 1/2 inch adaptor that we use for our bike rack. The long bed had a detachable tri fold bed cover. When we are on the road we fold back the cover but the whole thing comes off easily. So our choices are the back of the fifth wheel or the bed of the truck. (Or inside the rv?) Any suggestions are welcome! And thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIBERNUT Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Wherever you put it, make sure it is secure.

Randyretired Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 We carried a small outboard on the back of a MH. Just built a rack and clamped the OB on and used a cable lock. It worked OK but the comments about how well the MH floated never stopped. Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'd store it upright wherever it winds up. I know you can drain it but I'd always be concerned about waster running back up into the head. Perhaps a bracket mounted to the inside front of the box behind the driver, store it upright, secure it and cover it with a custom made cover to disguise it. Maybe a swivel mount and store it at 45 degrees to hide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed ke6bnl Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 You should be able to just lay it in the bed of the truck without hurting it. But, as mentioned before, lock it up any way you can. that is what I do with mine it lays on a moving pad and is cable to stay in my bed till I need to use. 2000 National RV Sea Breeze 5th wheel 30ft.
