If you can't decide if you want an RV or a boat

Terrawind sells a $1.2M floating Class-A RV

I just saw this today, but it's not exactly new, here's an article from 2004 for the same RV. Back then it "only" cost $850K.

Better have an iron stomach, in the videos looks like it rocks back and forth in the water (since there's no keel or anything else to steady it).
  • Been around for years but appears very impractical.


    This seems much more practical and much more reasonably priced:

  • Similar to the cars that turn into a plane…or a plane into a car? lol

    If one of the big white air bags springs a leak, will the RV roll over?


    According to the first linked article, the low center of gravity keeps it from rolling over, but the slides can't be opened without the air inflated pontoons. With the pontoons, they claim it will handle 4 foot swells. The operator must exit the RV to inflate the pontoons, so it's best to decide if they're needed before launching... :)

  • I saw the same or similar article and photo many years ago and it may have been on this forum. I would think extreme risk of loss of expensive toy and insurance premiums probable thru the roof if it is even insurable.
