Hey thought I would share my video on the possibility of living with your motorcycle in a van. 

 
WIFI's too slow for watching youtube now but, I've seen lots of extended length "motovans" set up to haul a 2-3 dirtbikes behind a wall then sleep one or two people with minimal "comforts" for a couple nights. With proper planning I bet it would be easily liveable, unless you have a good seal between the living space and the bike I would think the tire smell would get obnoxious after a while. From my experience it's noticeable going a couple hours down the road with the windows up(with tires ranging in quality from kenda to pirelli).

That's where a fantastic fan and incoming fan comes into play. However, actually there isn't much of a smell, at least not in my van.
 
I too have slept in close confines with my KLR650, and never noticed any tire smell.  If the tires were brand new, maybe.....   Plastic gas cans are much worse, so I switched to well-sealed steal jerrycans.
