You often see them, those huge, 30 foot RVs towing a motorboat behind them as they’re off for a vacation of boating. It’s quite a convoy. But what if you could leave the boat at home and still enjoy a cruise on the waterways as well as the highways? Well, now it’s possible. The C.A.M.I.L.C Terra Wind is the world’s first luxury amphibious motorcoach. At a stock length of 42’6” and 8 feet 6 inches wide, the Terra Wind RV is designed around a marine grade fiberglass hull of plywood reinforced fiberglass and marine grade structural members. There’s also a retractible deck for lounging, fishing, swimming and diving.

The Terra Wind is powered by a Caterpillar 3126E turbocharged engine which can also power it’s two 19″ bronze propellers with stainless rudders. To make the transition from terra to aqua, you simply place the auto transmission into neutral and shift the marine transmission into gear. And suddenly, you have a houseboat. Top speed is 85 miles an hour on land and up to 7 knots on the water. And with room slides in the out position, they can become outrigger pontoons to keep the boat level in as much as a 3 foot wave or wake. She is designed solely for travel on lakes, bays, rivers, and sounds and is not designed to be an ocean going vessel.

Since its opening in 1982 the Continental Divide has become one of the most widely acclaimed restaurants in the Northwest. Long a favorite of anglers who fish the Madison River, the restaurant has been the subject of numerous articles and reviews in major newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, Esquire, Town & Country, Gourmet, and many other national and local publications.

Essentially a country bistro, the food and ambiance is straight forward, and unpretentious with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and creative concepts. Many food lovers find the cuisine synonymous with the gourmet lifestyle. The extensive wine list is thoughfully chosen by the chef to pair with the seasonal menu.

“Al Fresco” dining against the stunning backdrop of the Madison Mountain Range has become a signature experience for locals and visitors to Montana that brings them back time after time.

Freedom is owning an RV. However, most of us have to work to afford our mobile apartments, and time spent at the office is time not spent touring the country side on your quest to find the best road-side fruit stall for Bing Cherries. When you can’t be behind the wheel of your RV, be sure to keep it clean and safe with a Classic Accessories PolyPro III RV Cover.

Nine lovely, fully restored vintage aluminum travel trailers await you at the Shady Dell in Bisbee, Arizona. Whether it is the 33 foot Royal Mansion built in 1951 and restored with leopard carpet, martini glasses, Diner-style breakfast booth and phonograph with a collection of 78rpm records, or the 1947 Tiki Bus Polynesian Palace, complete with hand-carved outrigger bar and your own Tiki God, the Shady Dell’s individual trailers will surely send you back to a time when freedom was just another word for jumping in your aluminum house on wheels, finding the Rat Pack on the radio and navigating the open road in search of your own slice of the American Dream.

Our sleek collection of vintage travel trailers are all perfectly restored to combine mid-century Americana kitsch with the comforts of home in a way that only the 1950s were capable of.  Each trailer, such as the 1949 Airstream, or the 1950 Spartan Manor, are available for an overnight stay. For once, experience the 1950s in full Technicolor.

If you’ve been looking to downsize and want to take your home on the road with you, Canadian small space builder Leaf House has slashed the price on its Version.2 tiny home to $44,500.

The 20-foot-long Version.2 is an upgraded model of Leaf House’s original project, Version.1, and has a surprisingly open feel in a tiny footprint of 215 square feet. Features include a living area with sofa bed, dining area, full size kitchen, full bathroom with a compact bathtub and composting toilet, and another bed stashed in a loft.

The luxury rolling house was built with FSC-certified tongue-and-groove cedar siding and hardwood oak flooring, low and zero-VOC wood finishes and paint, triple-pane Northern Windows, Energy Shield wrap, and a number of amenities including a skylight, Kohler sink and Pegasus shower.

Good afternoon everyone.

The picture above is of a vehicle known as a ‘jungle yacht’, and was used by the Italian explorer Attilio Gatti in his 10^th and 11^thAfrican expeditions. The expedition used two streamlined trailers designed by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky and using 1937 International Harvester D-35 chassis, and were 44 feet long and weighed 9 tons. The vehicles were built by the International Harvester company, who was evidently one of the sponsors of the expedition.

The trailers were pretty luxurious accommodations for camping out in the boonies of British East Africa. They were joined together in camp as a deluxe 5-room apartment on wheels,  and served as headquarters while the expedition’s personnel sought out the secrets of the dim heart of Africa.

The concept of incorporating secondary last-few-miles transport in a motorhome starts with a fold-up bicycle, steps upwards through a motorcycle riding piggyback and we’ve occasionally seen a full blown car being towed behind the largest beasties. So we were blown away when we saw the latest from German Motorhome specialist Volkner Mobilat the recent Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf. Volkner has been using CAD for more than two decades in tailoring its extraordinary high-end vehicles for those who insist in living in luxury no matter what. In order to fully cater for this elite clientele, it has created (and patented) a central garage concept that allows a luxury sports car to be ingested by the bohemoth, so that when you get there, you’ll want for nothing (check out the gallery). Volkner began been building the motorized garage into its high end Performance models in late 2006 and has now built motorhomes capable of swallowing whole Porsche 911s, Jaguar XK8 Cabriolets, BMW 6 Series Cabriolets, Maserati Quattroportes and this Mercedes Sports.
