not sure where having a set of pontoons would be a useful thing to carry...where they wouldn't just be in the way

Well, it was made to survive tsunamis. So when the tsunami arrives you just say, "Umm, please Mr. Tsunami, give me an hour to take these huge pontoons off my roof and attach them to the side of my truck."


Then you just float along merrily!

Neat idea, not so tidy packaging.

Hot rodder Rick Dobberton built an amphibious rv that used an old milk tanker as the main body. Then you can use the tank as the living area. Starting with a submarine, and putting wheels on it , makes for a better concept than adding floats to an existing vehicle.

This contraption was built 4 blocks from my house.

it certainely looked stable and well thought out. Its where I would want to be in a Tsunami for sure.

I saw the milk tanker twice in the 90's. Once heading south on the interstate near Wilmington Delaware and another time later in LA. I heard they never did very well in the water, multiple rescues and eventually gave up.

Not for sale, but in the spirit of amphibious vehicles...

That's good stuff. What happens if you run out of gas?

[SwedeSport]

Every so often they just fill the oil and check the gas.

Its made out of oil barrels, so I guess you could easily store enough fuel.

.....Its made out of oil barrels, so I guess you could easily store enough fuel.

But.... buoyancy?

[Crazyswede]

Could be a nightmare to import that truck

[SwedeSport]

Nah... those Cuban refugee rafts just wash up on the Florida beaches all the time.

Just don't fill all of them.

Sven99 gave me the leads on these.
Doug S. was a master tech at Scanwest autosport. He seems to be getting out of the Saab scene.
