Great idea to reuse an old popup camper!

Reminds me of one of DW's favourite songs:

This guy over on Pontoon and Deckboat Forum built this.



Before you go thinking "Redneck" its very well thought out. He can even easily remove the A-liner off the pontoon with a pushbutton winch system any time he wants.

The whole build is here: Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum • View topic - A folding travel trailer on top of a 28' pontoon boat. the meat-and-potatoes part of the build starts on page 7.

Very good reading.

Tim

Like Cheif Browdy said on Jaws "I think we need a bigger boat"

If you Google "Travelwave" you will find a houseboat that can be trailered and taken from lake to lake. During travel the pontoons are stored on the roof. I saw one of these in a storage lot at a campground we stayed at many years ago. It even had a slideout room.

The second one might be legit but the start if this thread looks photoshopped. It looks like the tongue jack is standing on free air over the side of boat.
