My Granddad had a mobile home in Bonita Springs for 30 years.
Right on the river, with access to the gulf.
Back in the 50’s, they just pulled their travel trailer into a motel and struck up a friendship with the owner and ended up going back every year. The owner eventually turned the place into a park. Several of my grandparents friends from IN ended up there too.
They had the best of the times for shelling and fishing. Granddad furnished a lot of fish to a lot of people.
Until the owner got old and the condos were coming with big wads of cash.
I have a relative that does. It was a great deal and is one of the best in the complex.
Not in your state!! But in GA, there are.
Is that a bugatti veyron?
Hardly any banks will loan on a manufactured home anymore. Also can be tough to find an insurance company to insure you, although there’s always one somewhere....
They are. Though I’d be a little claustrophobic in an 8 wide.
Yes. I suspect it’s one of those old grandfathered mobile home communities along Highway 1 directly across from the Pacific in some parts of CA. Those can be desirable because the location is practically unobtanium no matter what the actual structure is like, so you occasionally see people of means living in trailer parks because of that.
The desirable, structurally sound ones were designed to be road-worthy, like the Spartan. So, the widest you’ll see is just slightly over 8 feet. If it’s just you or you and spouse, it’s not that bad so long as you stay on top of the “stuff” accumulating over the years. It takes some effort to keep it in check, annually editing it down to fit.
Sounds like a nice way to vacation - enjoying the river, fishing, spending time with friends.
Yes, I think so.
Someone else on another website said it might be a kit car.
Aww, that’s a shame. Then again, GA property tax rates are much lower than my state’s.
Lol.... I just have to laugh. I see a LOT of that around here in the Daytona Beach area (redneck Riviera). Brand new $50,000+ pick-up trucks parked in front of $10,000 trailers. It’s all about priorities.
I’ve been saying this for about 10 years. All the benefits of rental properties without the headaches. I wish I had the money to buy one.
Owning a park that is, not the homes.
You can’t be seen rollin’ around town in a trailer. You can in the truck. Same mentality exists in the hood, too, but they’re more into rented 22” rims on vintage Cadillacs.
A little closer shot would have shown the paw prints of the neighborhood cats.
Gave us a great place to join them every other Christmas when we were kids.
They were one of the first Snowbirds.
He also had a very secluded cabin and trailer on White River in southern IN in his retirement that used to be his fathers camp when he was a young man.
The man caught probably hundreds of tons of fish in his lifetime.
amen
