I asked my friend and he said he would only allow someone who lived in his park to own and rent one additional trailer.

His occupancy rates continue to slide even though his park is close to campus and has lovely mature Oaks all through it. He has some stories to tell. People abandon trailers in his park all the time and he has to figure out what to do with them. They usually have a loan on them for more than they are worth and he has to struggle to gain possession of them so he can get rid of them or rent them to recover his rent owed.

His park is a family owned business since the early fifties when living in a trailer had no stigma to it.

Its nothing I would want to do today (rent a trailer).
