Recreational Technologies Develops New Prototype RV

For those outdoor enthusiasts that love the RV experience, but also love boating and fishing it has always been a dilemma how to get your RV, your boat and gear to the water at the same time as easily as possible. It has been tried several different ways.

• Option one is to tow a caravan of including a camper and boat. Well you could pretend your an eighteen wheeler pulling double trailers. But what about backing?
• OK lets try option two. Let's use two tow vehicles or make more than one trip. This one is not for me. This is supposed to be a vacation or weekend outing not an overland expedition.
• That brings us to option three. Why not consider combining the two. Merge the RV and the boat into one unit. That is what Recreational Technologies did. They have developed a RV-Boat combination that is versatile and affordable. This unit will appeal to campers, boaters, fishermen and the entire family.

In our research we have never seen any other recreational vehicle like this. Unique prototype or perhaps history in the making may best describe Recreational Technologies new unit. Designed to be enjoyed both on land and on the water. The Recreational Technologies prototype has inflatable - retractable pontoons and a lightweight design that allows for easy towing with a lightweight trailer. The bunks also retract and can easily sleep four. Extending the bunks allow space for a nice sized table for dining or games. The bow also folds down allowing and additional three feet of floor space.

Recreational Technologies is in the early stages of development. The model shown in the included images is their version. They hope to see this RV evolve into a product that will allow a greater appreciation for affordable outdoor recreation. They also have plans underway for manufacturing, distribution, marketing and even more elaborate option packages.

Their RV is not in full production yet. However, they would be happy to discuss plans for your "built-to-order unit NOW.  Built-to-Order, sounds like a custom RV to me.
