I never understood the negative stigma of living in a mobile home. To me, they are much better than apartments. Sure having an actual, full-size home is the ideal choice, but I'd rather pick a mobile home over an apartment. For one, in most cases, you actually own the thing, just renting the land to place said home. And two, there is significant enough space between homes so you can worry less about noisy neighbors, which makes it much more preferable if you have kids.

Also, the whole "trailer trash" stereotype is way overblown. For one, mobile homes and trailers are two different things. And two, I've been to trailer parks and the vibe is more wholesome than anything. A lot of the people there tend to be minimalist rather than poor and/or uneducated.

Really the only disadvantage is the issue with tornadoes or other severe weather, though some trailer parks do have shelters for this reason.
