I am working on a 35 ft gibson houseboat right now. You could live on it comfortably but it is about as small as I would go. here

Bigger isn’t always better, especially when it comes to sailing. In fact, these sailors from all over the U.S.—some who have downsized from larger boats throughout the years and some who have only recently started sailing—seek out their next adventure aboard their small boats. Some trailer their daysailers across the nation to explore new inlets while others race competitively or spend their weekends cruising the Chesapeake with family and friends. What attracts these sailors to pocket cruisers is simple: their small boats have the perfect combination of comfort, performance and good looks.

Also, most of the best small RVs include a shower and toilet for comfort and privacy while camping.
These small RVs feature the iconic “RV” silhouette with a large overhang above a truck cab chassis. These overhangs are most frequently used as a bed. here
In fact, many families report a sharp uptick in the overall family happiness meter after going mobile, citing the added time spent together (yes, even the hard parts) as major family bonding moments.
The trends toward small living spaces and downsizing have some intrepid homeowners thinking outside of the cul-de-sac for alternative housing options. Since many of them dream of retirements that are filled with travel and beachside lounging, it is not at all hard for them to trade in their nondescript tract homes for liveboard boats. These vessels can include sailboats, catamarans, power boats, trawlers and houseboats. For those who love the beauty and activities that are associated with waterfront living, acquiring boats for long-term housing give them nearly unlimited freedom to explore scenic spots and indulge in their favorite water sports such as kayaking, SCUBA diving and stand-up paddle boarding. The top two considerations for these potential seafarers relate to docking options and boat types.
Power boats are some of the most popular vessels for those who want to pursue the live aboard lifestyle. In power boats, much of the boats are above the water line. This equates to more headroom. They also usually have two levels. Power boats are known to have more living space per foot than most vessels. Roomy trawlers are common live aboard power boats. Catamaran sail boats also provide a good amount of living space, but many are too large for some single marina slips. Houseboats offer a more luxury option for alternative housing on the water, and Mangrove Marina offers houseboat villas for rent for those who want to try out the experience in comfort and style. here
Regular boat maintenance comes with the live aboard territory. Boat owners will have to paint and sometimes sand and varnish hulls to make sure their vessels’ exterior materials don’t corrode too quickly in the salt water. They also perform waterproofing protocols to help ensure that sea water doesn’t find its way into their boats’ interiors. Boaters who choose to dock in places that have cold climates must winterize their vessels to keep water lines from freezing and boat interiors warm for inhabitants.
