I was wondering what would be a nice boat to tow around the US behind a
diesel pickup. One that you could sleep on in an RV park or on the water.

I was guessing around 25 feet? Any ideas?

Thanks.

A Carolina skiff would fit the bill. The floor is nice and flat. For added
comfort, you could use an air mattress, and you might want to have a tent in
case it rains.
Some lakes and ponds limit power to 10 HP. If you don't want to be forever
searching for big water to float your boat, small is good. 16 feet tops.
Hope this helps ;-)

After car topping/boondocking a jon boat down to places like Lake
Powell/Meade, and Roosevelt across the mountains from us, I've always
toyed with the idea that it would be neat to make a Land n Lake type rig
out of a 22' or so pontoon boat, Sorta a smaller version of those big
rentals, but without the swimslide or hottub. Still Dreamin. UD

25-27' Farallon, or a Davis Rock Harbor. Would work in big lakes and also
in Florida visiting the grandkids. Also be nice for the San Juans. For the
camper a fourwheel popup slide in camper. Made in Woodland, see one at the
Sac ISE show. Thinking of buying this setup for myself.

Looked at the alaskan. The fourwheel's weigh about 1000#. And since I do
not camp in 0 degree weather, the fourwheel and Phoenix out of Broomfield,
CO will work great.

A lot of 25/26 ft mid cabins would do. Depending on where you are the
boat shows are comming and they are a good place to see whats out there
since you know your specific wants/needs

I have a Plymouth Voyager mini-van and will be towing a Sandpiper 565
sailboat.
Between the two, the wife & I should be able to get a good nights sleep at a
campground.

==================================================

Bill, here's a site that will give you a few ideas:

This is the one I've seen on the water a few times and it looks very
"shippy" for its size:
