Must have something to do with water and Russia I guess ....

Frenchy

It had some nice lines to it. ouside of the top part, that kinda looks like the home made camper part.

It definetly would be the "perfect" camper... I would hate to have to change a wheel out in the field with this one!!

I believe what you are looking at is a BTR-50 with either an inverted assault boat or the chassis of a DUKW type vehicle on top. I am also guessing that it is a sleeping container rather than a command post vehicle because there are no antennas showing. Truly weird configuration. Any other guesses?

I'd be willing to bet it's an Boat hull for a Bridge of some type

hmm... looks like a T-55 chassis. Doesn't look very armored. (see the holes in the front of the addition) And looks like it has snorkels on the side
Maybe its some kind of amphibious assault thing. As in the bulge on the top keeps it afloat + upright...
But i also agree with 210cav about the sleeping thing. Hmm... this is certainly a strange vehicle.

Another Pic w/ a Similar vehicle..... It was ID'd as a Pontoon type bridging system.

Pontoon bridge equipment is what it is. They make nice targets and blow up well.... hee hee "Q"

Definately not a T-55 chassis. I'm thinking maybe a modified PT-76 or BTR-50 chassis. Roadwheels are too small and too many of them as well. Nice pic. "Q"

It is a GSP ferry system.

Here are two links:

Some of it is based on the PT-76/BTR-50 chassis parts. Works in pairs. Supposed to be a very relaible and tough system, for a ferry.

Indeed, it's a GSP ( Gusenichniy Samokhodniy Parom) Heavy Amphibious Ferry, which was the standard WP ferry. It was introduced in 1959, and was used by the Egyptian Army for the crossing of the Suez Canal in October 1973.
Each system is composed of 2 half-parts (left and right), which enter the water separately, and then link up. The pontoon itself is swung 180° into the floating position. Retractable trackways enable vehicles to be loaded/unloaded from either side like a RO/RO.
The maximum load is 52 metric tons, and according to US sources, a tank can under favorable circumstances fire its main weapon while loaded on the GSP.
As Jacques wrote it, the suspension is based on the PT-76/BTR-50 family, and each unit is propelled in the water with to propellers. The hull is made of lightweight steel filled with foam to increase buoyancy.
The units have undergone some modifications to improve their performance.
One of the main disadvantage of the GSP system is that units can't joined together to form a continous floating bridge.
