Practicalities of living aboard all the time?

I realise a lot of people keep a home aswell as living on the cut, but I wondered what the practicalities were of living aboard full time, in a marina location / residential berth, and having things like bank statements delivered, address for your driving licence, car insurance (if you have a car) etc. 

 

Has anyone got any experience of this that they could share?

 

Many thanks,

Paul

Good article but does not answer the question regarding an address for registering a driving licence, also needed for insurances etc. I know some people use relatives but this would not be an option for us and is something that keeps putting us off looking into living aboard full time or even our other option which is living in a caravan.

Cheers Pete, looks like the world of business is realising that not everyone wants to live in bricks and mortar. Certainly a bit of food for thought there sf smile Forum
