New Motor Home Can Cruise On Land Or Water

The Terra Wind is an amphibious motor home. It can do 80 mph on the highway and about six knots on water.
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.
The amphibious RV is more like a luxury liner, with everything from a full-size Jacuzzi whirlpool bath to a big screen TV.
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.
It also has a yacht-like sticker price. The Giljams say the Terra Wind has a base price of $850,000

one would naturally think that a giant boxy camper would make a fine looking boat... but it just isn't so.
