9. I grew up in one

First nine years of my life. It was a single wide with a large living room tipout. Dad put it on three acres of land near a wood line with a creek, so we played outside all the time.

I then lived in three different ones in my early twenties, upgrading every time. All single wides in a park where you pay lot rent. I found out later that they would never rent lots to people of color, bastards! Glad I got out. I did have a few really good neighbors there, though.

They were good for what they were, but I prefer my 1200 square foot house on 2 acres of land. I get to do what I want with it. It will be paid for soon, so we will only have to pay property taxes. When we renovated we put in spray foam insulation. It's a wondrous thing!
