There could be a market for an amphibious RV. Not sure the cruise industry should be worried though.

RV Submarines!...Cool!!!!!!

Got a call one evening from a guy that was fishing at one of our Conservation areas.
He had backed his then 6 month old V.W. partially down a boat ramp to unload his gear.
I could see his rear hatch partially out of the water about 50 ft out.
All he could say was "My Rabbit Sank"

I lost it on that, regained composure.........then lost it again!

Something's fishy about this. This looks to be done on purpose. Two cameras different angles, smooth transition between angles, then a camera right on the driver, blaming it on the dog? And all cameras with the same lighting and quality of video? Nice comical ad for Jackson Kayak.

EDIT: Just found this. I'm now convinced this was done on purpose. Note the line at the bottom: Christian Corley of YOLOtek captured the entire mishap on video. His company website says its mission is to "build awesome products to help you catch video of your once-in-a-lifetime moments."

It would be interesting to know if his insurance pays off...

Yea, if the insurance company sees this it's gonna be hard to avoid insurance fraud charges. Guess he was looking for a new RV.

It is interesting how the brake lights go on and then the reverse lights go on. Kind of hard for a dog to press the brakes and move the gear shift to reverse.

I do agree, the last thing I'd be doing is filming myself after getting it stopped.

Seems like a stunt to me, but who knows.

You can't shift out of park without stepping on the brake and then shift.

That camper is toast with that amount of water inside. I don't see why the insurance company wouldn't cover it though, after all it was an accident. That's why we get raped by the insurance companies each year for coverage of our stuff. They get a hell of a lot more money coming in than going out. Pay the man will YA!

That is why there is insurance. I hope it was fresh water at least.

If it’s real that’s terrible I almost count watch it!

On another note, in the video he blames the dog for accidentally stepped on the brake release! I usually only blame the dog when I fart!
