park full of decent people. Many retirees live in trailers to stretch their means and continue to be self reliant, or just to have extra to play and travel with. We knew a divorced single mother who rented inexpensively to keep her daughter in her previous school and a man who gave his assortment of homes away to his children after his wife died and went to live in a trailer park on a river where a fishing buddy lived; pretty sure from his fancy truck, travels, etc., that he could still live wherever he wanted.
