Cara Boat AU was my favorite. I just love the fold away helm. The Italian one looks awesome too. Realistically the Airship 002 would fit me right now. Love it! Thanks for the video.
I liked #6 The "Archipod". This would be perfect to spend all day on the lake and watch the Fireworks show here in Seattle at night without having to fight the traffic afterwards and it's cheap enough to where I don't have to sell one of my kids to afford it
It's a shame you didn't have time for more details, especially on the "Sea Camper" with its flip down stairs, hook-ups for electric, black, gray and water tanks. Plus the optional upper bridge station (seen at 0:26) with its air shield, scooping air at its base and forcing it through a thin slot in front of the pilot. I saw one of these at a boat show in Seattle and considered buying one for its multi use as a camper, cruse boat, even as a ski-boat (twin Volvo Penta engines) but obviously I didn't. If I had the facilities I'd get one and refurbish it to present standards (Hm... retractable wheels &/or lengthen it). :-)
The 1st was interesting 2 me because I live in Jacksonville right now. Aside from that I was a little disappointed that none of the water "RV'S" were more than 30'. I'd love 2 design these types of vessels.
Think they are all nice and unique and very good in their own ways. Think most average people out there for price range including myself will pick the number 10 for $11,000.00.
Without a doubt the winner is the jet capsule. Actual price is closer to 285K and I believe top running is closer to 70 knots. Hopefully, soon to be my new toy.
I've always loved the concept of a trailerable houseboat. However, I'm concerned about restrictions on cassette toilets on many waterways. I can't find definitive documentation of those restrictions.
( I RADER ) LIVE IN A CAMPER = HOME 🏠 , THAN , LIVING IN ( THE STREETS ) .!!!! . ( CHEEK , YOUR , CREDIT ] .? . IT , MAYBE POSSIBLE .!!!!! . THEN GO TO A TROPICAL 🏝 ISLAND 🌴 😎🤣😂👍....!!!!!. THEN GET A BETTER JOB .!!!! .
The boat in the second picture that you are calling a sea camper is actually a Land and Sea 28' cabin cruiser, I have two of them, my friends have four more.
Parents bought a very large houseboat in France (Paris, on the Seine river), it costs so much less than renting or buying an apartment in this overcrowded city.... and it's quieter. The months when they are not in France they rent it, it pays all the costs and more! ps: the living room is 100 m² (meters) but bedrooms are tiny, to sleep is enough
You missed the Yukon Delta Series from the early 1970s. We had one for 11 years and enjoyed it the entire time. We camp both on the water and at campgrounds. Had an 80 hp Merc outboard. All for under 10 grand.
Growing up in Michigan on the Great Lakes, Inland lakes,rivers,and streams. I realize that some of these boats are really just fails in the long haul. I think most of them look awesome, but really fail becouse of not being more universal. No real deck on some. Your in the water but you have to look at it through the window. Can't really fish off it with a pole to good, can't really lounge outside on some and be comfortable. Also take the little rear drive boat thats a trailer. Cool build, but who really would use it? You drown like in a car if it capsized. Most of these house boats would be fun on maybe the Mississippi river,Ohio river, but would be a fail in the Great lakes. You need something that can handle a 5 or 6 foot wave easily for the bigger ones. If someone spends $80,000 to $150,000 on some of these new ones your limited of were you can sell them. I thought the people mover was neat (Jetboat). It was built for one reason( people mover). But the question is, how much? Who can you sell too? Also if the boats inclosed you need air conditioning maybe heat.
if you love camping and fishing but cant pull a boat and a camper at the same time this video is a must see.!!! so doable , love this and afordable!!! 111
What are the marked differences between a camper boat, a houseboat and a cabin cruiser? More development should be undertaken with regard to #2. Outfit it with some of the features from other entries, then reintroduce it.
Size I believe, a house boat is generally a single story with a upper sun deck, covered porch, washer & dryer arn't rare. Cabin cruiser, is more boat oriented & doesn't have a lot of deck space. A house boat is much more comfortable with a more traditional floor plan but is very slow and difficult to maneuver. A cabin cruiser is a boat with cabin space built below deck and its a boat not a house. They handle well and and will get up on plane. There's also a weekender, they generally have a head, bed and a small refrigerator & stove, sometimes they will have a shower that is really just a spray nnozzle and its all one room. 🙂
more like a boat with a garage where your overarching journey is done via water but when you go inland for a few days or something you hop in the truck and roll out. IDK i live by the missouri river and watch these barges rumble past thinking "Hmmm..."
The little boats that still have the trailer out on the German and the Japanese one there was an American design back in the late 50s and early 60s the boat was also its own trailer it has retractable landing gear Wheels there is a UA-cam video on it
the German made Sealander was designed by a friend, naval architect as me, his design was the first, there is also a copy of it in China. If you compare you will find the Japanese design is more advanced, for example the hatch doors of the sealander are wake, the Japanese have build much better doors. I don't know how the company is doing now, I just know my friend left the project in 2013 already due to the very little success of the sealander.
You make links to the sites to check out these items you do videos on, is it possible fou you to convert them to hyperlinks. Just for easier transition of your fans. Thanks for another great video. Definitely #6
I love the SUV no trailer! Funny looking :) I saw a James Bond movie long ago it had a car that he drove into the water while being chased. No camping I think it was a seaplane too lol I saw the Italian space- age one for $150k in a tv show or movie I forget which one I binge watch too much! My dad had a house boat, double bridges with a deck up top like a party boat. Just like an RV with full-sized sliding glass door it was like an RV we tried that too. The house boat was too big to move on a trailer but this video stirred up old memories! It's amazing thank you! Wish my dad could've seen it although he'd want one immediately & would be far too old now! 🌞💕
The camper boats all look like they'd bob and rock on the water like a cork. Good luck trying to get a good night's sleep when the wind picks up. The perfect camper boat would be a SWATH design that looks a little like those pontoon boats. They'd reduce the rocking and bobbing motion by quite a lot.
Not so, only 3 trailed models had the wheels integrated. Apart from the amphibian (which wasn't a camper) all the others were launched from a seperate trailer or stayed on the water. Do you know what those are called? *BOATS.*
A boat that lacks external walk-around or 'climb around' ability is not a boat, but rather a childish, useless fantasy. The 'Caraboat', at 2:51, this thing is a joke. The walls cut off the occupants from seeing most of what is around them (and from impending boat collisions), there is no ability to dock this 'thing', and you can't even sit on the roof to help handle the boat, because the sloping sides will dump you in the water. This thing is literally useless. 4:14, this plexiglass solar oven that doesn't allow you to hear or experience the outdoors.... The people trapped in that thing would barely know they're on the water. Rough water? You'd most likely die. if you pay $ 21,000 for that experience, thats probably be the biggest mistake you've ever made. This video is painful to watch.
C-Dory beats them ALL. Seaworthy. Price. Functional. Sure... it doesn't look like a home. It's more like a VW van. But it's a WAY better vessel and plenty good for living/camping.
there is one called the boaterhome I'm not sure if it fits this list or if you have talked about before but its a truck motor home boat combo back it into the water release a lever or something the homeboat part com's off the truck start the motor on the home boat part then go
Who can afford these, where do they store them when not on the water, You need a big size property to have stoage you cant just place on the grass in most communiies.
We have a 1967 18 foot Hobo that my wife,2 of our boy's, Daughter and myself bought it for $4,000.00 in 2009 it has everything but the Fridge , and the stove but had a Micro Wave in it to heat food with we USED IT a lot for 4 years I LOVED IT because we would go and spend a night or two only use like 6 gal. of gas with the 30 Hp Honda motor on the back I Liked the design better than any of these ... STILL HAVE IT Mike Hicks
I am updating this I sold mine in June of 2021 I WISH I had it back I have missed it more than anything I LOVED my HOBO House Boat, I like the Land n Sea almost as well but it sure COST A BUNCH MORE ..
Thanks for watching everyone! 😍

Minds Eye Design I looooove number #2!
Vorrei sapere il prezzo dei m.7 unamedio
@10:09 That's ours. Currently half-way through being converted to fully electric propulsion!
Number 10 the 24 foot sea camper looks to be the best. Has a Hull like a normal boat, and a lot of room in it and on top of it.
This was another video I had to watch again because I liked it so much!!!!!
Cara Boat AU was my favorite. I just love the fold away helm. The Italian one looks awesome too. Realistically the Airship 002 would fit me right now. Love it! Thanks for the video.
Hello M P, thank you for watching!
Awesome video as usual guys!! I would for sure take a caraboat!!
HAVENT COME ACROSS ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES I WOULDNT WANT
I looooove the oldies!!!
I liked #6 The "Archipod". This would be perfect to spend all day on the lake and watch the Fireworks show here in Seattle at night without having to fight the traffic afterwards and it's cheap enough to where I don't have to sell one of my kids to afford it
Loved all off them esp the Italian one !

I love number 4. just my size.
number 2 the most interesting thanks
The 1st was interesting 2 me because I live in Jacksonville right now. Aside from that I was a little disappointed that none of the water "RV'S" were more than 30'. I'd love 2 design these types of vessels.
Im guessing its a matter of what's legal to take on the hwy without a wide load lic.
Think they are all nice and unique and very good in their own ways. Think most average people out there for price range including myself will pick the number 10 for $11,000.00.
I really enjoy the concept, so I’m in! Why buy just a travel trailer when you can have both!
I'd like the DUKW.
Without a doubt the winner is the jet capsule. Actual price is closer to 285K and I believe top running is closer to 70 knots. Hopefully, soon to be my new toy.
For that money I expect there to be a submarine and flying option (at the press of a button) perhaps no reason to tow it either.
I love boat shows amazing 🤩
Amphibian trailer got my vote
That Italian one looks like a Star Trek shuttle craft.
cool idea !!!
I've always loved the concept of a trailerable houseboat. However, I'm concerned about restrictions on cassette toilets on many waterways. I can't find definitive documentation of those restrictions.
thx for putting this together :) What is the name of number 3? The little modern pod looking vessel?
good video
Cool
Who could forget the Boaterhome?
You should check La boyita, 1968-1980 from Argentina.
The number 1 was my favorite but it’s ugly as all hell! Gotta love ugly, my wife does!!
1979 first amphibious... not by a long shot!!
😂☝️
100K for some of these basic floating boxes. Phenomenal price gouging similar to RV's with massive 90% depreciation in the first 3 years.
Grzegorz Durda amen!
on of them looked like a shuttle from star trek
Great video, but check out Land and Sea RV. I have one in the planning stage.. going to be RV living full-time in about a year.
rất tuyệt vời 👏
We need winnabago dude to do voiceover
All of these seem to need awnings to serve as protection from sun, especially if you want to anchor out where there will be more ventilation.
You missed the "Boaterhome".
I like the number 6. How can I purchase the number 6 boat camper?
You didn't show the best ever Adventure Craft?
Mcgregor 26X
Does anyone know the boat at 5:46 that looks like a canal long boat?
Park a trailer on a barge
Hello Moose n Beans, thank you for watching!
How do you register them as a trailer or as a boat or both
Hello Larry Conway, for your convenience, the website links are listed in the video description. Thank you for watching!

These are not worth the price.
Sealander Is older
BoatVan is my choice. Versatility, Amenities and Price …. 4.5 stars - difficult navigation view

Loved Number 3... ridiculous price though for a 24ft er.
I like the 1979 amphibious model. Too bad it didn't take off past the prototype model.
I think that is best of them...
)f course I fell in love with the most expensive one but thats ok i will keep looking , I love these videos and the comentator does a terrific job!
All Beautifull... You have to add the argentinian "Boyita"... about 1970. Greetings
Wow, $100,000 for a 25' boat? You could buy a really nice, real boat for that much, so why buy these RVs that float?
Hello Danzig, thank you for watching!
$100,000 ! You’ve got to be joking?
camping on the water! doesn;t ! get any better then that!
Growing up in Michigan on the Great Lakes, Inland lakes,rivers,and streams. I realize that some of these boats are really just fails in the long haul.
I think most of them look awesome, but really fail becouse of not being more universal.

Here in England many years ago there was a thing called a 'Caraboat' check it out..!
Hello Ivan Counsell, thank you for watching! Yes we have featured that in a video before.
if you love camping and fishing but cant pull a boat and a camper at the same time this video is a must see.!!! so doable , love this and afordable!!! 111
Hello Maddah... Hello Faddah.
Here I'm drivin'
A Ford Ganada...
^_^
Hello bigemugamer, thank you for watching!
The TUMBLEWEED TINY HOUSES Really tickles me. I would love to have one.
WAY TO GO REACHER! SOME REALLY COOL CAMPERS AND THEY DO DOUBLE DUTY!
What was the cost of #1. I must have missed it. How would I get one of these?

Hello there, what’s the name of the number 3” please?.. thanks 🙏
Hello juan janes, thank you for watching! Jet Capsule
hmm... what about a larger boat that carries the car? Via the US inland water way you can access every state west of colorado
more like a boat with a garage where your overarching journey is done via water but when you go inland for a few days or something you hop in the truck and roll out. IDK i live by the missouri river and watch these barges rumble past thinking "Hmmm..."
There is one that came out in the 80’s or 90’s in South Africa called the leisure liner

What’s nice about these, you won’t need a separate boat trailer
Not so, only 3 trailed models had the wheels integrated. Apart from the amphibian (which wasn't a camper) all the others were launched from a seperate trailer or stayed on the water. Do you know what those are called?
*BOATS.*

Why doesn't the video show the INSIDE of the sea campers 🤨😒???
C-Dory beats them ALL. Seaworthy. Price. Functional. Sure... it doesn't look like a home. It's more like a VW van. But it's a WAY better vessel and plenty good for living/camping.
Hello Francus, thank you for watching!
I need one for 50,-75 thousand part Bachelor pad part speed boat with a master bedroom on top
Number two
The boater home is my favorite one that's not on the list....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
Terra wind amphibious motorhome
When I was 17 (50 years ago) we welded a truck camper onto a pontoon boat.
Would Love to find one of the amphibious trucks
I was diggin the "Icehouse" at 4:46. You got to have cold beer around when you rebuild the trailer axles!
What fun would they be!!!
Way to much money
Why don't you just buy a used patoon and and make it liveable. I'm sure you could make it cheaper then the $100000 price tag that they go for.
these prices are very expensive. If a person had that much money why wouldn't they choose a fancy boat instead??
Speaking of the first amphibious suv, did you know that the soviets had this 8 wheeled cab over van with amphibious capabilities.
Yeah they have quite the impressive array of amphibious, vehicles. No doubt there.
there is one called the boaterhome I'm not sure if it fits this list or if you have talked about before but its a truck motor home boat combo back it into the water release a lever or something the homeboat part com's off the truck start the motor on the home boat part then go
vern freeman those are awesome 🍻
Wow, talk about overpriced just because it floats.
Who can afford these, where do they store them when not on the water, You need a big size property to have stoage you cant just place on the grass in most communiies.
There was one called Yukon delta in the 70s
We have a 1967 18 foot Hobo that my wife,2 of our boy's, Daughter and myself bought it for $4,000.00 in 2009 it has everything but the Fridge , and the stove but had a Micro Wave in it to heat food with we USED IT a lot for 4 years I LOVED IT because we would go and spend a night or two only use like 6 gal. of gas with the 30 Hp Honda motor on the back I Liked the design better than any of these ... STILL HAVE IT Mike Hicks
I am updating this I sold mine in June of 2021 I WISH I had it back I have missed it more than anything I LOVED my HOBO House Boat, I like the Land n Sea almost as well but it sure COST A BUNCH MORE ..
for me the boatvan was the best.. it at least had a tailgate area I could fish from....one of the only ones i saw a place to fish from.....
Cool stuff
I sleep on the water in our bayliner and it’s not 100 grand. The cost of these is ridiculous
@Island Mike it’s a 40 foot bayliner. What do you have.?
Adventure Craft house boats should have made the list. Major omission.
