What could be better than getting out into nature in a camper, finding a picturesque place near a river, and spending a couple of days away from a noisy city like Indianapolis? Just launching straight into the water and a short cruise! Experts from the Indy Auto Man used car dealership in Indiana offer an overview of cool campers that can float.
A Floating Camper That You Can Take Everywhere
A compact camper from the Sealander company embodies German practicality. It is convenient to use in nature and in urban conditions as well. Externally, the camper is somewhat reminiscent of a teardrop trailer.
The monocoque hull of the Sealander camper is made of reinforced fiberglass. According to the developers, this solution does not make the structure heavier but maintains its strength. When equipped, the module weighs 1654 lbs, making it easy for any SUV with a good tow capacity to handle it.
There is a door in the front part and the stern is equipped with a soft folding roof. There is also a place for a boat engine – an electric or fuel motor up to 9 hp. The chassis of this camper is not removable, but the developers assure it is completely galvanized. Therefore, there should be no problems with corrosion.
There is nothing superfluous in the camper itself: two sofas that transform into a large sleeping area, a sink, a place for cooking, a compact table, and a small refrigerator. The Sealender interior has lighting, sockets, and fans.
A German Caravan in Which You Can Live Autonomously for Two Days
Departure one is another motorhome from a German manufacturer. The company Deutsche Composite decided to focus on comfort and autonomy. Four people can live in this mobile home for two days without additional sources of electricity and water.
But perhaps the main feature of the camper is the terrace on the roof, where travelers can sunbathe or admire the sunset. In this motorhome, they made a door on the bow and installed a ladder so that you can go up even farther from the shore.
Otherwise, the amphibian is very similar to other houses of this type. In the front part of the residential module, there are sleeping places, as well as the captain’s steering wheel. In the middle of the compartment, there is a bathroom and a kitchen, and at the stern, you can enjoy a recreation area with a table. Or fold it and organize another sleeping place.
American Campboat with Two Bedrooms and Underwater Lighting
The CaraBoat USA company from Michigan approached the creation of a campboat with a traditional American scope. The company’s line includes two amphibious trailers. The manufacturer positions the 25-feet-long motorhome as a small-sized model!
CaraBoat 750 is a full-fledged motorhome: two sleeping areas, a shower, a toilet, and a kitchen equipped with an oven. Four people can comfortably travel in such a camper. As additional options, buyers can order underwater LED lighting, install a swimming platform in the tail of the camper, equip the motorhome with additional navigation equipment, and other gadgets.
Two four-stroke engines with a capacity of 30 hp are responsible for movement on the water. However, CaraBoat can be equipped with more powerful motors. The amphibious vehicle is capable of developing up to 20 nautical miles per hour.
They also thought of everything for use on land. The creators of CaraBoat note that they designed the camper in such a way that, when on a trailer, the boat stands as low to the ground as possible, and also made a ladder. Together with the trailer, the small amphibious motorhome weighs about 5732 lbs.
The second model in the line is 29 feet long, and despite its size, it weighs only 220 lbs more. The difference is the extended deck in the stern of the vessel. It is comfortable to sunbathe in the sun and there is a place to fish.
And if you need a powerful vehicle to make your trip with your camper comfortable and safe, then you will always find a suitable option in the Indy Auto Man car lot.
