Any amphibious houseboat RV style campers for land and water use?

Looking for information on any amphibious houseboat RV style campers for land and water use.

Several years ago I was at a campground where an elderly gentleman had a very unique houseboat that he could also use as a RV style camper on land. It had stairs that folded out and down so he could climb into the boat and use it on land as a RV camper.

It was powered by a Ford v-8 engine, and not quite sure of the length. Does anyone have any info, or even know of the manufacturer of this type of interestingly unique boat?

Thanks, George.

Well George, I can relate to your desire to find an amphibious houseboat rv style camper, since it would definitely serve two purposes.

At present I am not aware of any current houseboat manufacturers that are building anything similar to what you ask, yet many houseboat builders are making small trailerable houseboats.

You maybe interested in following a previous post regarding a similar request about identifying an older vintage amphibious trailerable houseboat that could be used on land and water.



Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about any amphibious houseboat RV camper experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.
