If I were to move into a trailer how bad would I get shit on by other people?
I'm considering it. It is a place to live. It's fairly cheap. I could call it my own. If that were to make me "trailer trash" so be it.

just do proper research before finally committing.
taxes, space-rental, utilities and hurricane insurance. there's also the not-so-obvious … such as animals setting up house under your floor … pipes freezing in winter … animals chewing on things underneath … thin insulation … annual maintenance of a [i]'deck'[/i] … hurricane tie-down straps … being in close proximity to neighbors.
abiding by community [i]'rules'[/i] in the chosen trailer-park … maybe you cannot work on your car … maybe you cannot add solar-panels to the roof … is a canopy allowed above the front-entry door … where do over-night guests park their vehicles … how many vehicles are allowed permanent parking … very small lot … can you use outdoor charcoal-grill … neighbor's barking dogs might drive you crazy with thin walls of trailer. i can imagine frame-stressing might be another concern?
you might end up preferring a camper over a trailer … bit more portable. or … another member suggested [i]"tiny house"[/i] … which i also consider a viable alternative.
