Trailer houses are called "
Mobile Home" in English，Also known as
Container House with wheels. They are not expensive, so they can be considered as affordable housing in the United States. There are wheels at the bottom of trailer houses, so the whole house can be moved. Most trailer owners will buy a piece of land and hire a trailer to drag the house to the place they like. Homeowners without land can rent land from trailer parks and pay monthly rent. There are simple houses with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the shape of a long box like a container, and there are also double wide houses with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms with a gable roof. The price of a new trailer house will fluctuate with the area and internal facilities. If you pay attention to cost-effectiveness, you can buy a second-hand trailer house and renovate it yourself, which can save a lot of money.
Unlike RVs, trailer houses can be moved to different RV camping sites as you like. Trailer houses do not need to lay foundations, but after the owner selects the address of the house, he will build a terrace or parking shed around it to expand the living space. Once the trailer house is located, it will hardly move to another place. Therefore, many homeowners who rent land from trailer parks worry that the owners will sell the land one day and they will be forced to move. Relocating the trailer house again will be an additional expense, which may be more expensive than buying a new trailer house. The trailer house that the owner cannot afford the relocation fee will either be abandoned by the owner directly or taken away by the trailer park for auction. Of course, many trailer parks will sign long-term leases before residents rent the land, and many cities also have special protections for residents of trailer houses who rent land.
