Read the article.
Some people say that moving house is the most stressful thing in the world. That’s why Americans only move home once a decade on average. However, some people are on the move the whole time!
In the USA there 8,5 million mobile homes. In South Carolina almost twenty percent of all homes are mobile and many people live in Ош trailer parks. These parks, which have a bit of an image problem in the country, are often home to poor or rootless people. But that is not always the case.
In states like Florida there are trailer parks full of retired couples. They often have a great community spirit. Mobile housing expert John O’Reilly explains why: ‘People in these parks put up with a little discomfort to feel part of a group and have a sense of identity. The atmosphere is great, people hang out with each other and get on really well. They are like one big happy family.’
Some people stay in the same trailer park for years, but others travel р-н around. For Michael Branston, who has just bought a new trailer with his family in Alabama, choosing a mobile home was all about freedom. ‘Even if I could, I wouldn’t change my mobile home for a fixed one. Trailer parks are usually quiet, clean and safe and there are no parking problems! We would rather buy our own mobile home than rent an apartment in the city. At least you have a place you н can call your own and you’re free to move when and where you like. Moving house is great because you see many places and it broadens your horizons. Go ahead and try it!’
