Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire School me on mobile homes

Stick built houses are not perfect either.
It depends on how bad the crew is hungover.
Some things don't present themselves until you live in them awhile. Sometimes the workers are high school
Kids on a summer job.
Roofers seem to all be Mexicans.
Nothing is perfect.

We have had a lot of fun with all this. Likely Misses Gunner will put her foot down, and make the decision.

Quit picking on Jim... he is a nice guy.... jeesh

For a mobile home dweller?

Spent a few of my younger childhood years living in what were then called "house trailers" when dad was following construction jobs. Sometimes we rented and a few dad and mom bought and dad pulled around from job to job with a flathead V8 '52 Ford Sedan. That was well before they became "mobile homes" and nowadays "manufactured homes".

House trailers back in those days were no bigger than small to at most medium size camping trailers are nowadays and not many even had inside toilets let alone separate bathrooms. Most trailer parks back then had a central "bath/wash house" with a few toilets, showers and a some old clothes wringers and big sinks to do laundry in that served for the residents of the entire park. For late at night there was the old reliable, "Thunder Pot", carried over to the bath/wash house and dumped the next morning.

As a kid living in construction worker trailer parks you learned quick to stash some "equalizers" somewhere handy to get to around your usual areas of play and paths of travel.

Them yurts are cool. Coupla wives to keep you warm in the winter. Some yak ghee. Coupla golden eagles for hunting wolves and foxes. Short stocky pony easy for me to get my stumpy legs over for a ride with my eagle on my arm.

Hey, I live in steppe country........................I dream about this stuff.

Who needs a doublewide anyway.

Good grief Fireballz , Jim lives in a yurt/gert and burns Yak dung...

Boomer he is a Mt. mobile dweller.....

Hell , I lived in a travel trailer in Mt. for seven years... talk about cold trailer trash....

They are used up here, but here we don't get extreme weather

Im sure not going to read through 9 pages to see if anyone mentioned the savage hatred that tornadoes have for mobile homes, and just how far out of their way they will go to destroy them, either one at a time or when they flock together is some place called "Shady acres" , they hatem I tell ya !

I lived in an aluminum travel trailer in Soldotna, Alaska one winter. No heat, no power, just a place to throw down out of the snow. Hell, I was too stupid to realize how much fun I was havin'.

About 10 miles from Hinckley there is a gated community of homes about 1,200 I think
Pathfinder Village is the name.

People are friendly, they all have electric golf carts.
I was invited to see the fireworks one year. It was the best I have ever seen. I dare say they could tell you all about living in a factory built home.
Some live there year round some just use as a summer home.

I camped out in a '72 Nomad for a bit.
Yah, how dare people post if they're not retired.

Drive out any back road around here and about half the dwellings will be mobile homes. Not alot of good paying jobs in these rural areas so alot of folks don't have much money. Upstate NY ain't exactly warm in the winter, hell it's 20* here right now and it's been snowing on and off for the past week. You can count on a few days of negative 10-20* with wind chills of negative 30-40* most winters. Folks get by just fine in mobile homes and alot of them are nicer inside than most of the houses in the area.

I think many are confusing old mobile homes with new... wonder if Gopher got the info he was looking for?

I would look at Timber Ghost Realty.
They specialize in land and homes in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It will give you someplace to start anyway.
I know where you can find a used Park Model for sale.

If your richest uncle gets a new home and you have to go help him take the wheels off of it. You might be a fire member...

Yeeehaww git git git... House parking party.

I bought a used single wide to live in right before I got married for $7k put it on my land where I’ve got my house now and lived in it for 3 years I live on a knoll and wind vs underpinning is a bitch at times you could feel the wind rock the trailer like a car driving down the road

Dontcha be knockin', if the trailer is rockin'.....
