You see all types ...

... of campers and such when you travel about.  Here are some of the more interesting or unique units or set-ups we've encountered.   From a houseboat/camper with folding pontoons, to a 30 y/o M.A.N. that has traveled all over the world numerous times, from extremely cute and decorated, to sheep wagons.







A houseboat/camper, complete with pontoons that fold up so the rig is road legal at 8' (www.travelwave360.com). Each pontoons is 30" wide and rests right alongside the unit when unwinched, creating a walkaround deck. This unit is owned by the designer/builder.

The yellow rig is a M.A.N. that is 30 y/o and has been all over the world. This year they sailed from home, ie. Germany, to Nova Scotia, Canada. Their plan is to drive across Canada to Vancouver, then head south along the Pacific Coast of the U.S. and on in to Mexico. Owners needed a 4 stair stepladder to get in and out of their rig.




Here are some cute and little rigs; folding motorcycle trailer, decorated antiques and a sheep wagon.  We were amazed at how big the folding unit became - queen bed AND floor space for folding table and chairs. The other 3 are owned by members of Sisters On The Fly.


Finally, some other set ups that I found different.

 These campers are brave, sleeping on an open trailer with no cover. Temps got in to the 40's the nights they were at the campground.

Look closely behind the 5th wheel and you'll see his trailer and ATV that they double tow.  Something you don't see on the East Coast, but lots of double tows in the Midwest and Western States.


Here's a nice example of a toad / dingy - they have car, bike and rowboat on the trailer.  The owners had painted the words "You Can Take It With You" on their trailer.

We were surprised to see this toad exposed, but I guess if you have a Rolls, you want to show it off.
