Camp a Float

Camp a Float was invented by my father Richard Reed and was successful for the most part. The mechanism that lifted the pontoon boats out of the water to load the RV was a sight to see. There were some issues with wind here on the Delta in California, people were not experienced piloting these large boats up river-ways with their expensive RV's on board. My father eventually moved on and started a new and more lucrative company called Store a Float. He built marinas for several locations including Lake Mead which is where he was working when he was killed in a helicopter accident. I am not sure if there are any camp a float installations still in operation for public use, the last time I heard anything about them the were being used for barges.

We had a barge on which we built a camp. It was great!

Found this cool postcard with a picture of the Camp-A-Float! Camp-A-Float: Convert your camper into a private houseboat Rockford, IL Postcard

And I found a forum with an article about the Camp-A-Float here: http://www.barthmobile.com/eve/forum...757#8013906757

It really is a cool concept!
