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.
