am I not one? I lived in a trailer for 6 years. I couldn't afford house mortgage until my 2nd child was born.

You claim to live frugally, but look down your nose at a mobile home. You clearly expect too much for your income.

Mobile homes are only a marginally viable option. Most counties restrict them severely making them unaffordable and if you put one in a park your lot rent is going to sky rocket after the first 12 month lease forcing you to sell at a loss. Rvs are quickly going the same route.
