Abstract:

One of the most fascinating products now made in North Carolina is the \"Grandma III,\" a combination motor trailer and houseboat. This combination allows the trailer to be parked and used for habitation on land, as well as floating on water with a simple retraction of the wheels into the house. The \"trailer,\" in this instance is part of the boat. Built in Rocky Mount, and distributed in Clinton by the inventor, Robert Tabler, this product is the third in a line of similar experiments.
