with a 10 x 20 storage type shed anchored to the ground for hurricanes.  I
could add a composting toilet and water/electric to it and be more than
happy.

Matt, check the laws to see if they allow "grey water" as well as
composting toilets. Also, you may have to get special permission and pay a
fee to live in a trailer or non-house. Be very careful selecting your site
as far as these kinds of laws are concerned. I know you'll select on the
basis of soil, sun and water, so you need no reminder there. Have a nice
visit with George, Anne and Sleepy...

And have happy holidays and a wonderful and prosperous new life...Best
