The Sealander: Amphibious Camper: Caravan Boat Designed for Land and Sea

If the hardest decision you have these days is whether to buy a camper or buy a boat, you’re in luck: The Sealander caravan gives you both. A German-based company created this amphibious camper, which is light enough to be towed by most vehicles but can also cruise around on calm seas. The Sealander is an amphibious vehicle that includes a sound system, sink, water pump, and two stainless steel gas cookers as optional extras. The hull is a monocoque shell of reinforced-fiberglass-laminate and, in total, the camper weighs about 1,100 pounds. That means that a midsize vehicle (like a Subaru Outback) can pull the Sealander to your favorite camping spot. Inside, the camper boasts a convertible folding polyester top, a fold-out table, and seating for six that turns into beds. When you’re ready to transform the camper into a boat, it’s simple: You secure the low-emission, outboard motor to the stern and launch the trailer into the water. When used as a boat, the Sealander’s top speed is about 5.6 miles per hour, so it’s meant for calmer waters. But a stainless-steel swim ladder and plenty of windows make it a great base for swimming expeditions. The 2016 base model costs around $17,000, although you’ll probably want many of the add-on packages. Options include LED lighting, an onboard stove, shower, sink, toilet, and even a sound system.
