take a ride on the historic side and feel free to chat with the residents. there are lots of us living there - so we all can't be wrong!

ours is quick to warm and to cool and well insulated which keeps cost down.

had no prob securing insurance - did not go thru villages agents who are reluctant to insure! most important item - make sure tie downs are up to current code - home inspection wil reveal same.

have only snowbirded for 5 yrs but cannot recall seeing storm damage in our villages during that time. haven't had sinkhole or catastrophic ground collapse either - as newer villages have endured.

only know of one unit catching fire - but none due to lightning or utility service.

never lived in trailer - cannot offer comparison. what is it like?
