I endorse this book if you are thinking about buying a trailer to live in or if you are interested in an off grid lifestyle. Like all of her books, Anna Hess gives straightforward advice in an easy to read fashion that makes you feel like you are talking to a trusted friend or neighbor.The book consists of Ms Hess' personal experience in acquiring and renovating and living in a vintage "junker" trailer and personal accounts from several other people who are living this lifestyle. It includes people who are living in traditional mobile homes and in a travel trailer and on the grid and off grid. It includes practical advice about taxes, siting a trailer on your property for maximum climate control efficiency, septic systems, improvements, etc.It gives first hand, honest, accounts of the benefits and pitfalls of owning and living in a trailer home. It was worth every cent I spent on it for the advice that I probably would never have gotten elsewhere. It gave me lots of food for thought and things to consider when I am ready to downsize from a house to a trailer.
