Brian............you're slacking.

Where is the towing capacity of the motor home? Along with GVCW, and GVWR. Do we know the total cargo weight?

I know you have the numbers for the F150, but do you have the numbers for the F150 being used as an actual trailer?

My only question: Why are the mirrors extended on the Ford?

That so the driver can see if his truck and boat are still behind him.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how exactly are they going to get the boat off the truck once they have reached the water front trailer park they're clearly traveling to?

Just back the Ford down the ramp, and launch float the boat & trailer off.

Any boom equipped tow/recovery truck can lift/remove that in about 15 minutes. See post number 16 by 30ftpanther as well:
