Mobile home parks are pretty much tailor made to abuse the tenants. It is advertised as one of the perks of owning them.
The slumlords abused the trailers. This is what was across the lane from me ten years ago:




I always admired it because it has a propely crowned roof. When the owner vacated I walked through it. The floor was gone in the bathroom area of course, but it had beautiful cabinet work that made of curved plywood that would cost a bazillion to reproduce today. I wish I'd taken pictures.

The slumlord towed it to a vacant lot andf drove a Catepillar tractor over it.

The most popular unit these days is a road-ready fifth-wheel. There is still one Spartan Manor and some 1960s single wides. And one double wide 20x40. That's as big as a house.
