It's probably a bit easier to live in a boat, since it's common (and I guess legal) for marinas to allow people to live in their boats while docked there. I own a skoolie (used school bus converted into a motorhome) and it is nearly fucking impossible to find anywhere that I could legally live in it - especially anywhere near big cities. Ironically, I've even tried contacting marinas to see if I could live there in my skoolie and they're all like "hell no you fucking hippie". I wonder if I could buy a barge, park the bus on it, and then live in a marina.
You'd be the person who ends up ruining it for everyone when the marina sues you, wins, thus setting the precedent that, "hold on, you can't just live on your boat in a marina for that cheap!" Either becomes illegal or they start charging 3x if you plan to make it your domicile.
That would be hilarious. But are you over the size limit for national parks? Because that was always my RV life plan. Just getting national park and BLM spots.
My bus is 35' long so it fits in (most) parks AFAIK. It's fine for BLM of course, but I don't really want to live that isolated.
There are some surprisingly close to urban centers, but yeah it definitely limits where you can be.
Better hurry it up, they'll probably be gone in a year.
