Hi Diane,
Thanks for the info. I was refering to mobile home living and since I
live in Colorado there may be less of a mold issue. I had no idea
though about the out gassing. I will keep all this in mind when I
check it out, and also would ask about a 6 month lease if I had to
sign one at all, which around here is likely.

to encourage you that there HAVE been people here who have lived
successfully full time in metal trailers (like airstreams). I
understand that you are most likely talking about "mobile homes"
rather than RVs, but they are similar in material content and overall
problems. I remember reading that 1 or 2 ES people here grounded
their airstreams (2 to 3 years ago) and I was interested in the idea
at the time because I was also looking into the possibility of living
in one. My bigger problem in looking into this was that newer RVs
and mobile homes (I did look at both)--aside from being about as
expensive as a house (at least in my area)--had significant
outgassing and I have mcs. Older RVs and mobile homes have
significant mold +/or rodent issues, as a general rule. This would
not necessarily be the case 100% of the time, but it is often the
case. Mobile homes need to be
> skirted well to keep out critters. And yes, they are worse as a
whole than a house would be, as all materials are determined for use
on the basis of their being less expensive to keep costs down
and lighter weight. If you can, try out living in the mobile home
park temporarily without signing a long term lease. Also try to have
a back up plan incase you don't do so well there. But I would not
rule out living there since you do not have mcs.
