Specifications need checking. Some figures here were taken from the archive and have not been confirmed against a source.

The photographs show a boat-hulled caravan on a two-wheeled chassis, painted red and white, with a raised cabin and side windows. One picture shows it hitched to a Citroën DS. Others show the hull stored in a shed alongside a motor launch. Several files are labelled 'Carabatô'. The owner's note links the folder to a Swiss television archive item: in June 1965 an amphibious caravan was demonstrated on the shores of Lake Geneva. The presenter joked that holidaymakers no longer had to choose between camping and cruising.
