by In Denmark, a multifunctional residential trailer has been developed over several years, and recently the manufacturer announced its sales. According to the latest data, the amphibious motorhome by Caravanboat will be produced in Hamburg.
The essence of the invention is as simple as it is ingenious. The amphibious motorhome can not only serve as overnight accommodation in nature but can also float on water! In fact, the idea is not new and dates back to the 1960s, but this type of mobile housing has not gained widespread popularity. However, the situation might change in the coming years.
This is because the Caravanboat Departure One trailer can both float on its own and is affordable – from 69,000 euros. This is comparable to the price of a new Land Cruiser Prado! And here many would wonder what is better – a land-based SUV or a home in which you can live anywhere and float anywhere.
In its regular position during transportation on land, the miracle trailer appears as a standard residential module, and when launching into water, a special device with a winch is used. The Caravanboat trailer is equipped with a 15-horsepower motor, and solar panels are installed on the roof to supply it with electricity for household needs.
As for the interior, there is a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, and on top, there is even a deck with a sofa for relaxation. According to the manufacturer, one can remain in autonomous sailing for up to 2 days, which is how long the supplies of drinking water and fuel will last.
