I'm lost between 3 genres.
1970s kisch
1950s bubble gum
1930s depression era
Most of the 1970s stuff I can find on ebay or 2nd hand stores.
The 50s bubble gum culture is really basic and I've already got a giant poster of Bill Haley
The 1930s are just way too damn awesome and I've got the wardrobe for it.

Can't you do a mix? How many rooms, what's your preference for kitchen, bathroom, main living room? Any favourite items / spots?
Not an architect or decorator, pretty conventional even on the modern side, but people frequently praise my choices. Maybe can suggest something to your liking.

Don't know a thing about mobile homes, what to say a boat. And sounds like you into the 30's.
With a limited budget, 1970 would be the choice, although I prefer the 50's.
Pattern curtains on the windows and camp vibes? Modern electronics in old enclosures to emulate the era? Bottles, cups, tableware accordingly, and you may feel like it.

But since floating homes have lots of wood, the 50's sound great, 70's good.
30's would be too, but in my opinion it could require more metal and stone than the previous two.
In small quantities those won't hurt, unless you're into racing or uncommon navigating conditions.
Now, since boats need to be very practical and frequently things need to be held in place, typical 1930's lamps, ashtrays, and other decorating gadgets may need modifications, including electric. They're usually bigger, heavier and less efficient than current equivalents. Risky if thrown/dropped.
Space in a small home is critical, so you also need to think about form and function.
Amphorae and other decor stuff usually don't fit.
