I ran across an interesting site on hitches and towing today. Hitchinfo.com is an informational site offering a lot of good information on hitches, towing and related topics. They include, guides, articles and a towing related blog. There is a Message Board tab, but it doesn't appear to be live yet. While they are not directly selling anything, they also offer email and live chat to discuss hitch questions and issues with an expert in the field.
One of their articles, Trailer Maneuvering Basics offers tips on handling your boat like a pro on the ramp. It also includes videos How to Launch a Boat and Boat Launch Manners.
All told, this site has a lot of great information for anyone towing or using a hitch mounted cargo application, and it looks like we can expect a lot more from it. It's on my bookmarks list.
Check out my adventures in outfitting our new Nissan Xterra to handle our kayaks and gear. I'm now waiting for a Boat Roller system to arrive so loading up our canoe will be less of a chore (and less of a menace to the Xterra too). It will also accommodate a car toppable punt we are thinking about adding to the armada. The boat rollers should arrive Friday and I'll keep you posted on how it works after I've had a chance to try it out. (Hopefully with a fishing trip to Hagg lake this weekend if the weather permits.)
