If you're able to, spend a solid month in an rv first to give you an idea of the closeness. After the fire, we bought a 27ft pull trailer to live in. lasted 3 weeks and we were stir crazy. Just me and my wife. Now we rent our neighbors 28ft 5th wheel which gives us 30ft inside with two slides. Better, but still craaaaaampped.

We always wanted to do the sailboat thing to. Still do...kind of.

You can't realize how different it will be. I really recommend a trial run. Hey, maybe see if you can rent a moored boat from someone for a few weeks and see what you think.

Things to consider:

Hot water capacity. 4 minute showers are NOT fun and that includes turning shower wand off while soaping.

Toilet facilities: We have ours hooked up to our sewer, but that tiny little water closet and pretend-a-potty is not much fun either.

Storage: Not just clothing, but dishes,food, refrigerated goods. You'll learn to shop nearly daily.

Climate extremities: Seattle's not bad, but consider a lot of rainy days locked up inside depending on where you go.
