I can just imagine Bing as trailer trash. Pink flamingo on an un-mowed front lawn, rusty old bar-b-que with lid that doesn't quite close, slapping the crap out of Gary for spilling his Minute Maid orange juice............

Not exactly what you see, when you think Trailer Pa....Village! 
When I think of trailers I think of the run down ones that are scattered all over this 3rd World Country known as Louisiana.

That's similar to the piece of crap I lived in during the 70s. Bang on the wall and you could hear the insulation drop. Thankfully it was only a 3 month transition until I moved into bigger and better place

I always loved these homes. I think I was born in the wrong era. I would rather spend my life in a small, compact, yet super adorable house than a huge mansion. On top of that, I started searching for the best option to buy my own mobile home. I work with realtysouth.com, and I hope to find the house of my dream soon and move into it as quickly as possible. If anyone on this forum lives or lived before in a vintage mobile house and has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I believe this will help me a lot.

Here's a fun trivia bit...
Did you know that several aircraft manufacturers made mobile homes after the war, like Grumman and Spartan?

No, I did not. I did, however, shoot the rapids at Skinner's Falls in a Grumman.
Hey, I just realized I piloted Grummans!

My Grandmother had a huge Silver Stream mobile home.
It was gorgeous with it's streamlined shape, polished aluminum exterior and teak wood interior.

I've always said that I want an Airstream just so's I can paint it up with 8th AF insig.
