When we found out that we could potentially live in a trailer during our stay in rural southwest virginia, i knew it would make the experience complete. and as soon as we confirmed that it was not located in a park and would have wireless internet installed before our arrival, we were set. as we drove along the road, looking out for our home for 2 months, we passed a mixture of large mobile homes, run-down trailers complete with car parked in front yard, and beautiful homes of the foundationed sort. i realized when i arrived that i would be spoiled with this double-wide beaut. i know it doesn't look like much from the outside, with its flat facade and porch in dire need of a paint job. but its clean, inside and out, houses a washer and dryer, and has two rooms sizable enough for a full bed, a dresser and a desk. and aside from the cat-laden floor mats and throws, it is virtually knick knack free (minus one life-sized ceramic cat that sits behind the tv stand).
what it does NOT have is a dishwasher nor the water pressure in the kitchen sink to wash one single crumb off a plate. only slightly more awkward are the accordion-type doors which separate the bathroom from my room and give Brittany "privacy" in her bedroom. the other door to the bathroom is typical, except that it doesn't stay open except with the help of a cat-shaped door stopper. and every time you open this typical door to exit the bathroom, the accordion doors flap from the displacement of air. but B and i knew we would be living in close quarters, and are laughing at these inconveniences instead of fretting over them.
to end on a positive note, the trailer is very comfortable to come home to, especially the central air on a humid day.
