Made me think of a couple of "trailers" I lived in for two years while in college In Southern Illinois.  

In the South trailer parks and solo trailers are spread around everywhere. I still remember the stink of the cheap panelling and carpet. Roach infested shit holes.

Looking back I was actually in real poverty, but getting my degree was the objective. Drove a rusted out Ford with no muffler. Didn't give a damn.

In the late '70s my brother bought an old converted travel trailer in a local trailer park and let me live in it during the winter when he was going to college - I can remember my blanket freezing to the wall when it got below -40, pretty basic living but cheap as the pad rent was only $80 a month; the same trailer is still there but pad rents are now $450 and up.
