My parents bought a Park Home on a lovely site, when they moved down to Bedfordshire. It was a brand new two bedroomed home with electricity, gas, water, proper toilets and a fantastic walk in shower and was ideal for my Mum who had rheumatoid arthritis.
It was light, airy, warm in winter and cool in summer . It had a pretty garden and the people on the site were very friendly but not invasive. They paid a monthly ground rent. It was a lovely home for my mum to spend her final days and it suited my dad when he was left alone, until he needed to go into residential care. The site owners bought the home from my dad and it was sold on to another elderly couple.
People who live in Park Homes are not trailer trash. That is an ill-informed stereotypical thing to say. Mostly, they are elderly people who want a more affordable and easier to maintain home in pleasant surroundings.

I live in a small semi but nobody can see in when I am sit in my living room or cooking in my kitchen. The neighbours' don't know if I'm in or out.

When I was looking for my own place ten years ago,a friend tried to talk me into a park home. Sorry...they just did not appeal. I saw them as for retirees... And though I'm past retirement age now...I still don't see them as what I'd want...yet.
I do know a couple who have one as a weekend home..it's on cliffs overlooking a south Devon beach,and they use it on weekends. That I could cope with. ;-)

We have a Park Home site a few miles from us and the people living there are certainly not Trailer Trash. Its a lovely site next to a river, near to the market town, with picket fences around the homes and extremely clean and tidy.

That sounds like my parents' site, Retrochic.

No retro ( or perhaps yes retro )
my comment was prompted by a realisation that Kin had asked the question as selling spam .....
and not a deep desire to know and be educated

hc, what makes you think that everyone can see into the living room of a park home?
