Hi, Kathy,
Sounds like it could work for you then! (Take

Hi Diane,
There are plenty of mobile homes to rent in the two parks I am
considering, I would not have to buy one at all (and have no extra
funds for something like that). I have a friend in one park and have
visited with her several times and was not aware of any out gassing
types of odors. My friend tends to be sensitive to this sort of thing
as well so at least the mobile home she ended up with seems
reasonable on that level.

Yes, under those conditions, it isn't likely to work for you--too
risky. Good luck, dear. Hope you find a great place to stay, soon.

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.
