Unless the desire is around building it yourself, why not just purchase a small ~20 ft Class-B or Class-C RV? They have all the amenities built-in (including a toilet, shower, and waste storage tanks). Brand new they can be expensive ($50k+) but these depreciate quickly and you can find them routinely for a fraction of that.

They won't look out of place parked on a street either, especially in the lower rent parts of town. You also don't have to worry about cops looking in those pesky windows.
