Default Barge with camper?

Thanx all for your ideas. Gee, never thought many people would be
interested.
Jaques---I like the idea of the landing craft, never thought
of that option. I wonder if they are expensive to maintain and
operate. I have heard they have problems with air shifting and realted
problems, but on the good side they have GM power plants. Might you
have a web site for the place that sells them?
Ed--The barge house in Baltimore sounds exactly like what I
would love to do but money is a concern--we aren't poor, but aren't
rich either. Great idea if we could find one though. Just leave it
moored over the winter. Ice probably wouldn't bother it.
Peggy---I wonder if the composting toilet might leave bad
odors down wind causing hate and discontent wtih those who are there?
Any ideas?? I am leaning toward a holding tank as pumping out on most
Cape harbors is free.
Does anyone know if a steel barge needs to be hauled very
often for painting, maint., or whatever?
Thanx again everyone.

We aren't sure where we will end up going at this point, however it

Where do you plan to put the barge? If not in coastal waters or a
