Define what the meaning of "visit" is.

Visited, but never lived in one. I don't want to ever live in one either. It has a negative stigma to it, at least for me.
I do shop at Wal-Mart though. I have no shame in that. |

This should be good.
I lived in one visiting a friend in Austin before. Might be the first Asian to admit to living in one. |

I'd say 'visit' is 'going to meet someone you know who lives at a trailer park'. What wouldn't qualify: 1. Pulling pranks at a trailer park 2. Delivering food to a trailer park 3. Responding to a 911 call to extract a 700lb guy who has been lying dead in his trailer for several days. |

I have several friends that have lived or currently living in trailers. I don't like trailers mostly cause they are tornado magnets around here.

Both my parents did
I would prefer not live in a park if I could help it but would have no problem getting a patch of land out in a rural area and putting a nice one on a basement My parents say often that the parks now are nothing like they were in the 50-60s but then again what isn't diffrent now ? |

I know a few people who live in trailers, and one who used to live in a trailer park. I don't have a problem with trailers, but trailer parks are something else. I would not raise a family in one. Rampant crime goes on all the time.

I checked "I have lived in a trailer park"
It wasn't technically a park, it was just a dirt road with a few trailers at the end of it. I was in college and bought the last one in the line for $1800. $35 a month lot rent. I lived there for 3 years while I was in college. No AC, furnace worked occasionally. I stole some windows out of an abandoned trailer to pretty much fill in my broken ones. It was great, though. I could shoot, have bonfires, make pipe bombs Middle of nowhere.

Growing up in SC, FL,TX how could you not have a friend that didnt live in a trailer at one time or another ?
Right out of Goose Creek H/S in SC I lived in a trailer. It didnt even have running water ,you shit in a bucket then dumped it in the creek. If not for the kindness of strangers I would have been homeless. Now that Im older and better off I enjoy looking back. I am greatful for that time because it makes me appreciate what a great place I live in now. If your looking down your nose at someone just because they live in a trailer you might be an asshole.  |

When I was single I was doing some chick who lived in a trailer.
She looked like a young Dolly Parton. Even wanted to be a country singer. She was a real freak in the rack. She got evicted and I lost track of her.

When I was in high school I knew a few people that lived in them. That might be different because for some reason FT. Ord had it's own trailer park and it was post housing. Yes, Army post housing. Probably faster and cheaper to set up. This was the post that was giving a partial housing allowance for familie living in a couple of the housing areas because it was considered substandard and the money was to make up for htem living there.
I have also known a few people that set up or lived in trailers on their own land until they could afford to have a real house built. |

After I got divorced I bought a mobile home and raised my daughter there for several years. We eventually rented a house and got rid of the trailer (long story), but we were pretty happy there. It had a pool too.

I lived in a small (5 units) trailer park many years ago. Cheap and it kept the rain and wind off. I now live in a double wide 96 model. It is mine. It is paid for. By having it I have been able to spend money on land. I now have 18 acres. Will be purchasing another 13 when it becomes available. I may someday build a house or I may just keep spending money on guns, my kids, my wife and all those kinds of things. I do get a kick out of folks who work for me talking about paying monthly mortage payments of 800-1500$. That gives me chills just thinking about it.

Started out married life in a 10x50. Saved our money, sold it and bought a house. A great way to start out if you don't have a silver spoon in your mouth! We had great neighbors. Retirees, other technical types, cops and firemen. No trailer trash there!

yes. I once lived in a trailer park when I was a kid.
 My frined just bought a "trailer" with 3/2, barn, 3 car garage and 80 acres for 150k He just finished grading part of it for his private rifle and pistol range.  I am trying to buy the 40 acres next to him.  |

Same here. Why do people think apartment living=poor? My family isn't poor, by any means. We just don't want to live in a regular house. |

I've seen some t-parks that are run-down and full of some goofy assed people. And I've seen some that are very well-kept...newly paved drives...actual covered car-ports & sheds for each one, ect.
I've lived in some apt's that were total shit-holes compared to some trailers I've seen. The same goes for houses too. All depends on the area, and who's living in them. My beef w/ trailers is the whole tornado issue. I feel much safer living in my apt. building than I would if I were on wheels. I don't look down on anyone because they live in a trailer or apt. You gotta do what ya gotta do. Not everyone can afford or even has enough credit for a mortgage on a house. |

i live in one now.low mortgage,low lot rent.do what i want to do on the land here.
there is about 10 other trailers in here.all hard working people. me and the wife make good money and we prefer the neighbors couldn't ask for any better.few of them are old country boy types.so if the shtf i don't have to worry about anything.one of them still mainly lives off the land.hunting in the fall and winter,gardens in the summer. ok you buy the big house and die you leave it to the kids when your dead. most would really rather have the insurance money than having to fight over the property. which it happens quit a bit. life insurance divided it equally. |

My parents lived in one before I was around. We than bought a house right next to it. My Grandparents owned the park and my dad looked after it. So I lived in a park but had a house. It was fun there was always kids to play with, plus I mowed all the common areas and lawns for people who couldn't mow thier own, I made some good money.
