Trailers will hold up and wear quite well but that of course depends on the amount of effort that is put into upkeep and maintenance by the owner but the salt air environment will no doubt add to maintenance requirements. Of course this can be applied to most anything else like an automobile etc. - who owns it and maintains it has a tremendous impact on longevity.
goat saysIt making me consider buying one of those undeveloped lots in the hills that we see all over the bay, and sticking one of these on it. Better than a typical apartment that goes for $2500/mo. Plus, the land value will still appreciate, even if the home itself behaves more like a consumable.
Let us know if it works out. I am considering doing exactly the same thing. Utilities hookup would cost a lot. Do they require foundations?
