Has anyone considered getting one of these travel homes to run around the region? There's not much camping culture in Singapore, and even in Malaysia, there are almost no powered camper parks to plug into standard camper vans. Some interesting campers when I was looking around. https://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/range/camper-vans-t6 Given these campers cost upward of 200 to 300k, and with COE limited life expectancy of 10 years, it got me thinking what else can I get for the money. Of course, trailer homes are cheap, but driving up or camping in Malaysia in one just screams "Rob Me"!!! The other alternative I can think of is to live off a boat. http://asiapowerboats.com/buy-a-boat/preowned-yachts-others/ A simple used one costs about the same as a 4 room flat( no COE), with only question being the repair/maintanence cost and docking fees. I know some docks have power points that can be plugged in to run A/C and the ancillaries, so it makes for a reasonably comfortable living, albeit a small space Does anyone have an idea what the fees are like?

Watch the ( US )Navy's New Unmanned Swarm Boats In Action (WATCH THE VIDEO IN LINK ) http://gizmodo.com/watch-the-navys-new-unmanned-swarm-boats-in-action-1642641650 The Navy is aiming to add its new unmanned swarm boats to the fleet within a year, and a video released by the Office of Naval Research shows what an asset these empty vessels will be. The swarm boats are outfitted with sensors and software so the Navy can control them without putting anyone inside. Algorithms help determine the right speed and the best course of action. These boats are designed to act as an initial line of defense, and can quickly surround unknown or enemy boats as a deterrent. But they're not just a warning sign. They can also fire .50 caliber machine guns if the deterring doesn't work, though they don't start shooting on their own. Like military drones in the sky, a person will control the weapons. There isn't a specific type of swarm boat. The Navy's sensor and software technology can turn small vessels into unmanned swarmers, so they can retrofit older boats. [ABC
