DESCRIPTION:
Overview:
Presenting a rare opportunity to own a piece of recreational history—the 1978 Sea Camper. This unique hybrid of houseboat and RV was part of a limited production run of approximately 600 units in the early 1970s. While it requires restoration, its rarity and potential make it a valuable project for the right enthusiast.
Condition:
The engine is currently non-functional and will require attention.
The interior and exterior are in need of restoration.
Due to its age and condition, this Sea Camper is being sold as a project vehicle.
Why Consider This Sea Camper?
Rarity: With only about 600 units produced, Sea Campers are a collector's item.
Versatility: Designed for both land and water, offering a unique recreational experience.
Potential: An excellent canvas for a custom restoration, whether for personal use or resale.
Turn heads and make waves—literally—with this ultra-rare 1978 Sea Camper. With only around 600 ever made, this vintage amphibious RV/houseboat hybrid is ready to be reborn as a one-of-a-kind tiny home. Whether you want to live lakeside, roam the backroads, or float your way to freedom, this classic camper offers a double life most homes only dream of.
Why You’ll Love It:
Tiny Home Dream
Convert the interior into a cozy, minimalist retreat—with a bed, kitchenette, workspace, and more. The layout is already primed for small-space living, with built-ins and storage throughout.
Amphibious Vibes
This is one of the few rigs that can go from driveway to dock. Restore the hull and engine, and you’ve got a floating cabin, fishing spot, or riverfront retreat on demand.
Off-Grid Ready
With a little solar and some elbow grease, this baby can be fully self-sufficient. Gndocking, dry-docking, or water-hopping.
Collector's Rarity
If you’re into rare vintage vehicles, this Sea Camper is a unicorn. Hard to find, even harder to let go of once restored.
Important Notes:
The Sea Camper is not roadworthy in its current state.
Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer; a suitable trailer will be necessary.
Not currently road- or sea-ready
Will need to be trailered or transported
Sold as-is, where is location - BRANFORD FLORIDA 32008
– Price negotiable for the right buyer with vision
Serious inquiries only—dreamers, builders, and boat-life believers encouraged!
