I presume you are in the US. Out of curiosity - how does bathroom work with trailer life? Do you have a shower and toilet in the trailer or do you go somewhere else for that? I'm a complete stranger to trailer life, I suppose it's just like camping but perhaps over there you have some differences when it's a permanent full time lifestyle. I don't know

single-wide trailer

Such mobile homes are fully plumbed. They’re functionally equivalent to an apartment/flat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_home#Construction_and_sizes

Single-wides are 18 feet (5.5 m) or less in width and 90 feet (27 m) or less in length and can be towed to their site as a single unit.

That was informative, thank you

This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.

That looks amazing, why do you say something like that would be average Joe's nightmare? LOL TIL trailer isn't at all like a campervan and I'm really confused now haha

Because thats how people in the USA act, like ending up in a trailer park is the worst thing that could happen to them. They would rather pay $2,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment than $450 for a 3 bedroom trailer simply because they don't want to be thought of as "trailer trash". Its very stupid and irresponsible, but any time I bring it up to anyone irl, that I am not paying a million dollars for rent the way they are, which is why I can work part time and still afford more than them, they have 45,000 excuses and reasons why that couldn't possibly be true, even when I actively show them my rent receipts and paychecks.

LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a camper, a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit-in kitchen, laundry room, all that jazz.
