I'm not seeing that many people down on Hive. Many just get on with using it for various things. You have to think long term when it takes so long to power down and we've seen things go up and down before. If you desperately need the money then what you make here is a bonus. We are building cool things and I'm not going anywhere.
As for that boat/camper, people will do what works for them. I know campers can cost a lot of money. Some people here convert old vans or even ambulances or buses.
