Minds Eye Design I looooove number #2!

[@andreaormentin7759]

Vorrei sapere il prezzo dei m.7 unamedio

[@beverlylange4514]

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

[@danielburgin28]

@10:09 That's ours. Currently half-way through being converted to fully electric propulsion!

[@oogieboy5874]

I was diggin the "Icehouse" at 4:46. You got to have cold beer around when you rebuild the trailer axles!

[@mikelyons7511]

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.

[@beverlylange4514]

WAY TO GO REACHER! SOME REALLY COOL CAMPERS AND THEY DO DOUBLE DUTY!

[@lynnmiller8919]

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.

[@STARDRIVE]

No.3. What a magnificent design!

[@TheBamhulk]

Awesome video as usual guys!! I would for sure take a caraboat!!

[@musicotherapierelaxation7732]

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

[@karenvickers8165]

This was another video I had to watch again because I liked it so much!!!!!

[@fernandomarcet4257]

All Beautifull... You have to add the argentinian "Boyita"... about 1970. Greetings

[@ansophia1]

Loved all off them esp the Italian one !

[@texedwards3039]

number 2 the most interesting thanks

[@maxmillion6428]

The Cara Boat is a jaw dropper but little Italian job is an eye popper.

[@MP-qn1jw]

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.

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello M P, thank you for watching!

[@Babyybooyy]

I looooove the oldies!!!

[@throttleissues9359]

Really digging the Boatvan

[@beverlylange4514]

[@elainemiller266]

NO 2 that be Radiant 🙏🙌💯🔥 Seriously

[@jimbuckley4986]

Loved them all fun video

[@jeanlathan5594]

Love the Italian one. It seems perfect to me.

[@chelsylucyntashope8172]

[@beverlylange4514]

HAVENT COME ACROSS ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES I WOULDNT WANT

[@johntripp5331]

Nice 👍🙂

[@bigmoecosmo8232]

Very cool.

[@royalkingdomcommando6379]

#10 is my favorite! I guess I'm old fashioned!

[@richardstrachmesserschmiti4979]

#2 best by far. Definitely

[@jorgerivera2674]

They are all cool I can see myself living in on since I love fishing

[@TairnKA]

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). :-)

[@Jesusisking2785]

the top gear transit fan

[@rogerpacific8824]

The TUMBLEWEED TINY HOUSES Really tickles me. I would love to have one.

[@crossfamilyfun]

Cool stuff

[@karenvickers8165]

I love number 4. just my size.

[@themagicboy6548]

10/10 big ass 1970s wagon

[@bigbadbaby7640]

I love boat shows amazing 🤩

[@kokolorenz]

Missing the german amphibious Orion campervans and trailers from the 70ies. They were a legend!

[@francus7227]

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.

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello Francus, thank you for watching!

[@Eddy-rf1df]

I also like the sea camper number 10.

[@GothGamma]

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.....

[@abrahkadabra9501]

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.

[@negraponce5188]

Ô

[@karenvickers8165]

What fun would they be!!!

[@SunnyIlha]

I'd like the DUKW.

[@ELECTRICMOTOCROSSMACHINE]

I loved #1, so cool.

[@bgmedia4199]

I like number 3 but then again I like all of them

[@nickyingtavorn5491]

love # 7 affordable

[@shawfestify]

Hell yes pure madness

[@chocolatety130]

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

[@MissMarinaCapri]

I really enjoy the concept, so I’m in! Why buy just a travel trailer when you can have both!

[@rayamundson2342]

#7 is the best of ALL of them.

[@TheYahoogirl88]

Love them all

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello Yahoogirl88, thank you for watching!

[@bryanmiles4759]

When I was 17 (50 years ago) we welded a truck camper onto a pontoon boat.

[@peterfischer5459]

Loved Number 3... ridiculous price though for a 24ft er.

[@The69powerwagon]

I like # 10 the older one.

[@mowattlavern62]

You do a fantastic job reacher

[@fahrradwohnwagenmann1452]

cool idea !!!

[@adlerkreiger3988]

No. 2 could use a standard camper with a cab access. Easier to make customized units for dropping at camp sites. All are made fancy to sell as luxury. Bring the price down by making the basic body so the buyer can DIY or customize as needed. Too greedy to fatten it up for a few high sales. When you can make more money by cutting costs of luxury and labor, selling low for more buyers. I bought a '72 uniflite sport 27', no motor, shell for $750. Then I added a trolling motor for each side of the aft swim deck and one thru the nose anchor storage. Running extensions from them to the CNC deck seat, making a three-point navigational control. I covered her in solar panels and one wind gen. Two battery banks with dedicated systems. I turned the motor deck into a play/sleep cabin for my kids. We fished the Manatee River for years and even lived on it as needed.

[@shawncirignano4876]

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.

[@TammyMartinBLUE]

Im guessing its a matter of what's legal to take on the hwy without a wide load lic.

[@aimeeavey6039]

Heck ya love them

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello Aimee Avey, thank you for watching!

[@therevster9828]

Liv em.

[@Cliffdog01]

There is a lot to like about the ones that are are great boats that happen to have a trailer like the Igloo Satelite Cabin or SeaCamper. What would make it better is if it came with power hook-ups for a camping site so you didn't necessarily have to use it on the water?

[@marcushennings9513]

If its my money I'd take 9 with 8 a close second.. but 9 has the front and backporch which are nice for fishing/ observation platforms. Easy front ladder access to get up to the top deck and its more aerodynamic than the others which will help the fuel mileage while being towed.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

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.

[@DainaSancho]

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! 🌞💕

[@kevinjohnson484]

Amphibian trailer got my vote

[@patrickporco6972]

All terrain houseboat...yep

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

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.

[@TammyMartinBLUE]

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. 🙂

[@chriscalvin5083]

good video

[@brettalfero6245]

There is one that came out in the 80’s or 90’s in South Africa called the leisure liner

[@Eddy-rf1df]

I also like the number 9.

[@wesm6422]

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.

[@handal0]

What a lovely video, cams here from the gmc stuff and found something else I'd love to own so tyvm :D

[@handal0]

Also if you like this kinda stuff you'll probable love this especially as you could come the 2, or with a gmc or similar, the 3 ;]

[@chribbe68]

Cool

[@bigemugamer]

Hello Maddah... Hello Faddah. Here I'm drivin' A Ford Ganada... ^_^

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello bigemugamer, thank you for watching!

[@alejandrofaust6973]

You forget de argentinian "Boyita" a legend of seacampers of the 70's!!

[@ericnuchols270]

Adventure Craft!

[@dmwi1549]

LandNSea early 1970’s. 26-28 foot long. Single and twin engines. Much like sea camper boat in video. Assembled as separate fiberglass interior and exterior halves with full amenities then joined down the middle. USA And found Land And Sea from 2018. Very nice updated aluminum version. USA These seem like good ideas but don’t stay in market long.

[@bobbycoakachee97]

Number two

[@merlinjones6485]

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.

[@janechanning984]

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.

[@uwenaumann8964]

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.

[@saltspringdesign]

thx for putting this together :) What is the name of number 3? The little modern pod looking vessel?

[@abdokallab5996]

The amphibious one was my favorite!

[@burnerjack01]

Always thought about putting a camper on a WWII DUKW. Why not?

[@washingtonwebfoot9908]

The reason amphibious vehicles never caught on is because they weren't very good land vehicles but made up for it by being lousy boats.

[@abdokallab5996]

@@washingtonwebfoot9908 well you have a point. But, I think that's in the past, cause there are many 6×6 ones out there. Or even ones like the green and white wrangler looking one!(I forgot its name) this chanel has a video about it.

[@donnakawana]

Love them all wud love any one

[@MrArcher7]

That Italian one looks like a Star Trek shuttle craft.

[@SK22000]

What’s nice about these, you won’t need a separate boat trailer

[@docthebiker]

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.*

[@donaltrumlp4907]

rất tuyệt vời 👏

[@samwehunt5253]

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.

[@TexCynRVLife]

Ha! A camper van towing a camper boat!

[@maryellencook9528]

I like the 1979 amphibious model. Too bad it didn't take off past the prototype model.

[@tomatom5496]

I think that is best of them...

[@peyopeyar9347]

No 4... 👍

[@ivancounsell4077]

Here in England many years ago there was a thing called a 'Caraboat' check it out..!

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello Ivan Counsell, thank you for watching! Yes we have featured that in a video before.

[@mikehicks9924]

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

[@mikehicks9924]

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 ..

[@jwserge]

Kathy, you're the most interesting in this video )

[@LLCNipsturBrands]

@jwserge She could be a “AI” person

[@killer-ir8mn]

There was one called Yukon delta in the 70s

[@ronadkins8848]

Heck yea I fully plan to go this route in retirement. Much indecision abounds mostly with the price. From tug to pocket yacht to trawler toocean going house boat. But the lower end ones you have are very very interesting. I even dream of something that the tow vehicle can be driven onto..even using it as the propulsion system. Imagine a camper van driving up on a barreling hull saddling on rollers geared to turn the prop. Don't know if there's anything out there as such but I do know there are aluminum drive aboards used up north. Just no living quarters unless of course the camper van became such.. dream dream dreams.. thx

[@wildhare36]

Number 2 is where chevy got the idea for the new chevy Silverado.

[@mindseyedesign]

I wouldnt put it past them for one second!

[@billallen4793]

The boater home is my favorite one that's not on the list....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠

[@igotajopamerica3040]

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.

[@frostriver4547]

You missed landandsearv Theirs come with a dry shower, 3000 watt generator, solar and a split AC. Even has stabilizer jacks on the trailer!

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

Solar panels are great for camper boats. It is best for all those camper boats.
