After living in one of these little boxes for 14 months, I can assure you the article is true. It is only 14 months late, though. Apparently the local media did not want to upset anyone. (Like we didn't all know it already.)

Thanks for the info. We have a older 34 ft pace arrow motorhome which we leave at a campground all summer. We stay there weekends and sometimes use it to travel in. I have never woken up feeling ill or noticed anything different about the air. But I do have a child with asthma. I will be sending my husband out to check what kind of wood was used in it and get one of those kits to check the air . ~P~

I am in and out of these trailers almost all day, five days a week and have never had a health issue. Our facility has had hundreds of these units deployed and I have never heard a complaint about respritory problems from any of our clients. Our biggest problem is that many people don't want to give these trailers back to us when their time is up.

I feel bad that some people might have health issues living in a FEMA trailer or any other small confined space but my experience seems to indicate that this is very, very rare. I think the media making a mountain out of a molehill. I also have to question the accuracy and competency of the newspaper story where the reporter can't even get FEMA's name correct. It's the Federal Emergency Management Agency, not the Federal Emergency Management Administration.
