Did not know where to post this. We don't seem to have a area for RV's that are amphibious.
The Terra Wind, one of the world's most fascinating amphibious vehicles.

Randy -
I suppose there's someone dumb enough out there :iws: and with far too much money to spend who might actually buy this amphibious diesel pusher. It would certainly give new meaning to "shore line", "air bags" to name two but others will have their own little gems to contribute.
Of course, we'll have to add an "anchor" to our sticky of RV supplies.
Question ---- Do you think the 6 point leveling system will work for the Captain?
Let's all sing....... "Anchors Away...." or "Row, Row, Row Your Boat, or "Cruisin' Down the River", or .......... fill in the blank with your own tune.
Sorry -- we're not going to create a new category for this type of RV. :(

Found a bit more information. I would think for the 1.2 million you should get a anchor with it.
Rather than starting with an existing RV and plugging up any holes, the folks at Cool Amphibious have built the Terra Wind to be more like a boat that just happens to drive on land. With its twin 19-inch screws it can hit 7 knots on water, while it will top 85 mph on terra firma. A fold-down rear platform makes fishing and swimming easy, and you can even use the slide-outs while out on the water. The main hitch I see is the $850,000 starting price ($1.2 million as pictured). For that kind of money, you could spend years traveling between luxury hotels in your Ferrari, while renting yachts as needed.

I'll bet it has the best tank flush available ..... at 7 knots with the valve open ... dreaded pyramid is gone. http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=251&pictureid=1715

For that kind of money I'd go to Manteo and have one hell of a boat built and keep my travel trailer and truck.
