New Motor Home Can Cruise On Land Or Water<br />

<br />ALEXANDRIA, Va -- The propellers on the back of the Terra Wind are the first clue that it's not a typical RV.<br /><br />The Terra Wind is an amphibious motor home. It can do 80 mph on the highway and about six knots on water.<br /><br />It was created by Jim and Julie Giljam, of South Carolina, who showed off the vehicle at a recent RV show in the Washington area.<br /><br />The amphibious RV is more like a luxury liner, with everything from a full-size Jacuzzi whirlpool bath to a big screen TV.<br /><br />While the motor home is at home on the water, the Giljams say it's not for ocean cruises. It can only take waves up to about four feet high.<br /><br />It also has a yacht-like sticker price. The Giljams say the Terra Wind has a base price of $850,000.<br /><br />But where is the fishing platform?

Looks like the wild thornberries vehicle to me. Those with kids, and grandkids, know who I'm talking about.

I wonder why its not planning out? Oh, I forgot, they left their tow dolly with the Toyota Camery hooked up. That must be the anchor?

LOL at Mayfloat. No, I think the anchor is a Ford Fiesta.

Re: New Motor Home

Saw this in one of the motorhead mags recently. My thought then was, "Sure looks tippy to me,wouldn't want to get into any kind of a chop or wind in it on the lake!"<br /><br />Guess I will save my $850,000 for a different play toy - just not sure which toy. Comne to think of it, can't remember where I put that $850,000!
