The Caraboat was a unique caravan/boat hybrid produced during the 1970s. As of today, the Caraboat is considered a collectors piece amongst caravan enthusiasts. The boat aspects were designed by small boat designer John Askham.[1] The hull and boxy superstructure are moulded from GRP, with large windows. The road chassis is a T-shaped steel backbone, inside the hull. The two wheels are carried on independent suspension units bolted through the hull to the crossmember. Towing is with a caravan-like towbar, hinged and bolted through the front of the hull. Unlike a conventional caravan, there is no jockey wheel, making handling difficult on slopes, such as slipways.[2] Propulsion of the original Caraboat was by a waterjet drive and an internal Lombardini 4-stroke engine,[2] although most surviving examples have been converted to use outboard motors.[2] Restoration of a 1970s Caraboat in Bristol was the subject of an episode of More4's My Floating Home in 2018.[3][4] Dimensions[5]Length 16 ft (body) 18 ft (overall) Width 6 ft 10 in Height 8 ft 6 in Headroom 6 ft 3 in Weight 1600 lb References1. ^{{Cite web |title=Caraboat advert |date=c. 1970s |url=http://www.caraboat.com/images/bigboat-2.jpg}} 2. ^{{Cite web |title=Original Caraboat Jet Propulsion Unit |date=13 August 2007 |website=Caraboat |url=http://www.caraboat.com/Forum/index.php/topic,162.0.html}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite episode |title=Bristol & Vancouver Island |series=My Floating Home |series-no=2 |episode=7 |date=22 May 2018 |url=http://www.channel4.com/programmes/my-floating-home/episode-guide}} 4. ^{{Cite web |title=Frog Prince on TV - My Floating Home, More4, Tuesday 22 May 9PM |date=3 May 2018 |website=Caraboat |url=http://www.caraboat.com/Forum/index.php/topic,382.0.html}} 5. ^{{Cite web |title=Caraboat advert |date=c. 1970s |url=http://www.caraboat.com/images/biglboat-4.jpg}} External links
