Not sure I understand your question Johnny V. Are you inquiring about lots for sale near me?

I can turn Ten Forward around on a two lane road, this thing takes a football field...

I don't know of any offhand but I'll keep my eye out. I never really thought about them before talking with a friend. He has bought and sold several of them.

My neighbor had their house broken into 3 times just after the trailer left the house. Storing your trailer where it is visible to the street is a bad idea. I store mine at a secure lot only because it tells bad people when your gone for an extended period of time.

Buying a lot in Florida sounds like a good idea to me, must be right on the water and be cheap, if not it doesn't make sense.

We moved to the country precisely to rid ourselves of problems like that. Best decision ever. The crime and thievery just doesn't happen here like it did in town. I should have sold and moved out here decades ago.

But on the other hand, with close neighbors who know your schedule, any strange activity can quickly be acted upon.

And on the other other hand, my road is so infrequently traveled that any traffic gets quickly noticed by my neighbors, even though we are many acres apart. And let's just say that each of those neighbors is a country boy, with all the equipment that entails....[emoji16]
