You may want to speak with Forest River directly about it (they're pretty good about referring technical questions to their engineer).  You may also want to get ahold of the folks at http://etrailer.com and ask their advice.

I would be worried about about the frame of the camper.  Here in PA it is against the law to tow triple (Truck + Trailer + Trailer) so also be sure to check if you are crossing any state lines as to what the requirement is.  Can you use a roof rack to carry the boat? (like a jon boat?)

Had thought about something similar...was wondering if the frame would support a rack on the back for a motorcycle.

I realize that the receiver hitch is not rated for towing anything other than a spare tire but I have a 13 ft. boat on a trailer I would like to tow.

Has anyone upgraded their hitch to two a trailer behind the R-Pod???  If so, pictures?
