Obviously not where you travel but apparently there's many that live in trailer parks. Over here trailer parks are slowly disappearing in prime spots like Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast etc. Sad really, made holidaying cheap for many as we cant all afford motels with kids etc at $150 a night. |
There's plenty of every kind here, still. The nastiest are the in-city ones where the poor people live.
When I did car sales for a month, when I first moved here, a lady asked to test drive to the park she lived in, to make sure the car would clear the speed bumps. She pointed at a 19' travel trailer (caravan ?) and said that a single mother lived in it with 4 children. Of course, there were a few fancy trailers there too.
At the ocean area, there are a few low-budget parks, but several very nice ones. As well as the campsites set-up for big RVs and trailers with water, electric, and often, dump connections at the individual sites.
The cable TV is a treat.
On occassion, I'll reserve YURTS - a cross between a cable and tent.
But this new trailer I have, carries so much gear, I typically just reserve a site for $18 US dollars per day, with electric, water, and cable TV.
Looks like I'll be going down to camp again soon.
I took my mom to see the Redwoods for her first time, today, and later, drove 1/2 hour to Brookings to prune for the garden club. One hour of pruning while my mother shopped (it was not a business trip, just a quick project I promised to do when I came down).
Just after I dropped off my mother, a lady in a black Mercedes honked and waved me over, asking for a quick estimate just a few blocks away. She mentioned that she saw my sign in the back window, and that there are no real arborists in that town (I think she's right).
I have a feeling that after we move back up to Portland, the Brookings area will arrange for my pruning work in the winter during my slow season, so I can drive down to camp at the campground, and mix work with recreation.
A rental trailer will need to be available for hauling, since I will only bring my blue one for outdoors gear. Tools fit in the truck though -already in boxes.
