The Best Way To Do Camping?

Why Porsche, plus powerboat, plus motorhome equals brilliant

---

It’s not quite planes, trains and automobiles, but this pic, sent to us by PHer ARAF, has got to be an example of the best camping holiday ever.

Cars, boats and motorhomes: what could be better for a week’s camping? Forget tents besieged by midges and a 15-year old Volvo loaded to the gunwales. Forget, even, the Chevrolet Matizes one usually sees trundling along on an A-frame behind many a motorcaravan – this is the way to do the Great Outdoors.

“Race you back to Antibes, darling? You take the Porsche – I’ll take the rib....”

Just remember to take the Porsche off the trailer before launching the RIB.

They did bring their tent, its just affixed the top of their Boxster Spyder

Awesome! love it

I have a new early retirement plan now as well!

House, boat, and a toy...

what more does a man need

Who nicked the earlier thread about this from Garlick?

Practical mode on - you would need to choose your route and any bridges pretty carefully

[whitevancam]

That is my dream....

Hopefully there is a little garage at the back of the motorhome with his KTM 300EXC, BMW S1000RR, downhill mountain bike, cross country mountain bike, ski's etc, etc in to make it perfect!!

Powerboat, huh? Throw motorbike into the mix, perfect package!

[Agoogy]

And top speed on that little beauty is?

[louismchuge]

French plates?

I'd stay on the continent!

[whitevancam]

Actually I'll amend my earlier comment and say bin the both the Boxster and the power boat and replace with GT3 RS....

[Snoggledog]

Would it be the same PH'er who caught the "Spied: New Mercedes SL On The Move Eagle-eyed PH" story as well

[scubadude]

Wonder how you get the RIB down? Not exactly "light" are they (guessing 600kg by the size of it)

According to this, 50mph, though I shouldn't imagine that would be as quick with all that extra ironmongery that's been nailed to it...
I've always been fascinated by those DUKWs, ever since I was a kid...
