almost as much as camping in the great outdoors. Pulling a boat unless you have that load it system kinda limits you to having a truck camper and a really heavy duty pickup. Don't get me wrong, I like truck campers but at this point in my life I'm probably not going to get one. I've been toying around with the idea of building a Vardo type trailer and that would be pretty cool in its own right. Other than every Youtuber out there wanting to interview you it would be an awesome way to travel. So, I was thinking about how to combine my love of being on the water and being in the great outdoors. So, I found this and wow.. This could be the one! A trailerable houseboat that doubles as your travel trailer and boat. This fella sells plans to build several versions (length) and if you check out the floor plans they are very usable just as campers. The best part is they are not that much heavier than a comparable length travel trailer. Granted, you don't have the same amount of enclosed space but you get a pretty cool looking porch if you follow the plans. I'm sure they are easy to modify to suit your needs. Ok, a Vardo houseboat maybe? Imagine going up to Lake Havasu and spending the day, then night, then the next day on the lake before heading off to find your camping spot. Just slide your camper into the water and off you go after locking the tow vehicle and trailer up securely. Check out the link and add your comments.
