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 . 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 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. Propulsion of the original Caraboat was by a waterjet drive and an internal Lombardini 4-stroke engine, although most surviving examples have been converted to use outboa

Propulsion of the original Caraboat was by a waterjet drive and an internal Lombardini 4-stroke engine, although most surviving examples have been converted to use outboard motors. Restoration of a 1970s Caraboat in Bristol was the subject of an episode of More4's My Floating Home in 2018. (en)
