...when a citroen C6 reverses into a portaloo!

You'd be worried if Oscar Pistorius was nearby!

How about this offering from the Germans

quite an ordinary combination, and able to be towed by quite small cars

arguably stylish interior

but what makes it different?

der schwimmcaravan....it has a 5hp electric motor and can be used as a boat

regards Neil

The base schwimmcaravan is around 16,000 euros, with a fair catalogue of addons for an additional charge, but then again your average motorhome/caravan is pretty pricey too, and 99.99% aren't "ocean going"

The Schwimmcaravan is no stranger to a bit of "sell the benefits marketing"

Caravans at Sea ??....well there is one way of removing the pests from the seal lanes

Citrosub anyone ?

Well not exactly a citrosub but maybe a Type CX Destroyer

Taken from this video of a tremendous gathering of amphibious vehicles

CX in the water ?.....1 week later its a pile of rust and a roof

Someone turning a Renault Kangoo into a camper car with a few 45L storage boxes

regards Neil

PS. As an unashamed asker of stupid questions myself-one of the fairly innocuous comments as ever with the good old internet, provoked a bit of a sarcastic response

Question.....Can you buy the boxes?

Reply...No you have to melt the plastic yourself to the correct diameters!

Still the original poster of the vid gave the polite answer....(yes you can they are from Keter and you can get them at B&Q)

another excuse to raid the pic collection.....

from a thread on Barryboys some years ago this one got a slating for the wheels and general shonkiness...TBH its a bit lame for Barryboys but i digress.
however the real gem is in the background

quite how someone saw the 2 and thought 'that'll make a great camper...'

Gosh, it must drive like a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre and a load of manure on board

That campervan reminds me of the second stage in dog mating, where they end up back to back...
