Popular Mechanics, December 1963
Regular house-trailer bodies, minus undercarriage, serve as. cabins for a steel-hull houseboat that provides a comfortable floating home for-four persons. The trailer body is lifted off its chassis by a crane and lowered onto the hull. Accessible through a hatch in the cabin floor, the houseboat engine is mounted in the welded hull. It takes only a few hours to convert the trailer into a houseboat. The owner can live on land in winter and on water in summer. The manufacturer is now designing a new model with which the owner can make the changeover himself by towing the house trailer off the hull, eliminating the need for the crane.
