Well hopefully the winner has a hunting or fishing camp where they can park that tornado magnet. It actually looks like it is $75k in cash ?! shite I’ll buy a discounted AU/aTm ticket for a crack at that.

If I won that thing I would take it back in time, I would be the God/Emporer of Gentilly back in 1980.

When I was growing up, people who lived in trailers were always looked down on, but I knew three people in high school that lived in trailers. Two of them were really good friends. They were in single parent households, with a single mom. Except one guy, who lived with a single dad who was an abusive drunk piece of shite, and you can guess how that kid turned out. But he wasn't a product of his environment, he was a product of his shitty DNA.
My wife's grandfather retired from the military and sold some land for millions, he was a multi-millionaire, still decided to live in a trailer because he liked it.
Moral of the story, don't look down on people living in trailers. Of the four households I actually knew who have lived in trailers, 3 of them were awesome respectable people (one was rich) and only one dud. Probably the same ratio you'd find in any suburban subdivision.
I gotta agree with this. Plus to be fair that's a pretty good looking trailer.
When people make fun of people living in trailers most think of homes that look something like this:
Run down and unkept with trash everywhere, bonus points if it's in an actual park not on private property. The one in OP looks pristine. Nothing wrong with trailers if you take care of your damn home. My grandparents lived in a single family brick house all their life, but after their kids grew up and moved out it was too big for them. My uncle (their son) ended up buying their house because his family was getting big and grandparents just put a pretty nice trailer on the same property for themselves because they didn't need too much room with just themselves anymore but didn't want to build a new house from scratch or move to a different area, so they just got a trailer.

Haven't spent much time in Alabama?
Florida has the most mobile homes of any state in the US.
It's mostly from all the 55+ neighborhoods with retired old people.

I know an old couple right now, that live in a double wide mobile home, very similar to that one. They have a farm that is several hundred acres, some Arabian horses, several airplanes, a luxury yacht, plus several other smaller boats, a couple of them being old top of the line Mahogany, in perfect condition.. A couple of nice tractors, and several other nice pieces of dirt work equipment such as dozers, excavators etc..
They can probably buy and sell most anyone on this site.

I’d be pretty happy to win. 
This thread reminds me of the time I was doing some advertising for a local dealer. I asked what I should call them. He said, “call them manufactured housing. Nah, call them mobile homes. Oh, hell. Call them trailers. My people know what they’re buying.”

Meh. It would make a nice cottage on a lake property. I'd take it.

Who has more fans living in mobile homes, Auburn or Bama fans? Honest answer.
Alabama probably has more total, due to more total fans in general.
But I'd bet good money Auburn wins per capita.

It's a mobile home, Michael. How much could it cost? $75,000?
Actually, it's not. It's a manufactured home. We've all seen them being carried down the highway in two halves by 18 wheelers. They aren't on wheels...hence, not mobile. Mobile homes usually have the skirting to hide the wheels. Manufactured homes don't.
Now this is a mobile home.

I'll only say the banks aren't going to agree when it comes loan time. If it's not on a foundation, the majority of lenders won't even consider it.

While that may be true, they still aren't the same thing.

They're basically the same thing and it has nothing to do with wheels. They were called mobile homes before 1976 and manufactured homes after. There was some type of wind/weather code they passed back then to make the homes a little stronger.

Wait, wait........
For a contestant to win the grand prize, Auburn must return its first kickoff return of the second half for a touchdown in their designated game.
Sheesh!

Most commercial banks won’t lend on a manufactured home. Some will. Some finance companies will do a 25 year Am under 8% interest believe it or not.
Most GA counties require you to skirt them with a foundation even on a hunting tract which I think is bogus. They make a bunker that’s buried 3/4 underground and doubles as the back porch. Holds 4-5 people and safer than inside a brick house.
