Clearly this isn&#8217;t the kind of caravan in which you&#8217;ll take your kids to the seaside! It has two floors, a master bedroom with an en-suite, cocktail bar, expandable sides for more living space, a pop-up roof deck, and self-cleaning exteriors. Oh, and did we mention that its entirely covered in gold and has under-floor heating?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 150%;\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.camillc.com\/Site\/images\/terrawind\/300alljoyexit.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"none\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">I<\/span><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">mage source:\u00a0\u00a0www.camillc.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Remember that scene from <i>Chitty Chitty Bang Bang<\/i> where Chitty drifts halfway out to sea and the car transforms into a boat? Of course, that could never be done in real life. Right? Enter the Terra Wind, a luxury amphibious motor home perfect for those oh-so-frequent occasions when the road suddenly diverges into a lake. Still, such a vehicle might not be so laughable here in England with all the rain we get. Just as a side note, this motor home doesn&#8217;t have the capability to fly like Chitty, but maybe in the future&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 150%;\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xap1\/v\/t1.0-9\/14910_521069457994456_8087281696753784722_n.jpg?oh=023eb861a5cb9b4cab9abeb0e11434bd&amp;oe=54537CB4\" alt=\"\" align=\"none\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Image source: loyalkng.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Ever heard of the phrase taking everything but the <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/kitchen\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/kitchen;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.0d4wf;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Kitchen\" >kitchen<\/a> sink? Well now you can literally take everything <i>including <\/i>the kitchen sink on holiday with you, all strapped to the back of your bicycle! Enter the Camper Bike.

They&#8217;re iconic, good-looking, and just short of perfect for a couples holiday. Plus, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/motorhomes.autotrader.co.uk\/used-motorhomes\/volkswagen\/campervan\">pick up a pre-loved VW Camper<\/a> from as little as \u00a318,000. Total up the cost of an annual holiday and you&#8217;ll see that these little hippy-vans will pay for themselves eventually.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">So what would you rather be seen in as you cruise down the motorway towards your summer holiday destination? Of course, if motor homes aren&#8217;t your thing, there&#8217;s always a good old-fashioned tent that can be packed into the boot of your car!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thelittlehousecompany.com\/property-blog\/302\/canal_living_the_pros_cons_living_on_water\">Like the idea of an unconventional home?
