Wonder if John's ever considered a designing a houseboat , something along the lines of the teardrop camper designed to drop onto pontoons
Well, there's this shantyboat:

...in the "Sketchbook". There was also a "motorized shantyboat":

...in Johns blog piece on ideas for "The (Unending) Search for the Bigger PocketShip" here:

...both probably bigger than what you are imagining, but they show that such notions do rattle around in John's head from time to time.

From the CLC Teardrop Camper FAQ:
Couldn't this be turned into a boat somehow? Mounted on floats, or a raft, or something?
Google "Shanty Boat" for a far better selection of small floating homes. This is a machine for the highway. Carry your boat on the roof racks.
