“This deadbeat went on vacation instead of paying his mortgage.”
Judging by the vehicle in his driveway he’s a contractor, possibly a roofer. He may well have travelled to another job site for several weeks. That’s what contractors do when local work dries up. They get in their vehicles and travel to where there is work.
Your comparison to your own experience is irrelevant. You did not do it in a deep recession, likely not even during a recession judging by the multiple jobs available to you at the time.

If he had travelled out of town for work, I’m sure he would have been paid for that work and with that money he earned, he should have made that payment on his doublewide.

First of all, a rescission does not absolve one of their financial responsibilities. Secondly, I lost my job when the oil field was in a depression causing the lots of people in my area to be out of work. And I managed to do what I had to do to cover my financial responsibilities.
Like you said, this guy was out of town, working hard and somehow still refused to pay that note on his doublewide.
