On another list we are discussing RV chalets.  These are houses built with 
no bathroom of kitchen but a large rv sized garage.  The RV is parked in 
the garage and connected to the house to leverage the investment in kitchen 
and bathroom.  The RV can still be moved and used as an RV but this might 
be a good idea to start with.

You still have the problem that this is a cash world.  You still need money 
for taxes, health care, etc.  That has to come from some where.
