hi. I also live in a trailer. I am in rural Georgia..I am from the mean streets of New Orleans, La. We just love it here in the country. I would not go back to the city other than to visit my family. We get city water..we have a 2 bedroom 2 bath trailer and a laundry room and our water runs us $25 a month. We are on all electric and varies between $89 in the winter and $145 in the summer. We have a septic system which cost us $2,400 to install. Please check with your health department to inspect your land before you get your septic tank installed..usually cost about $35. You can't get your electricity turned on with out having your septic tank in first. Also check with your Tax Commisioner about a Homestead Exemption on your land...I forget what it all entails but It has something to do with your trailer and it is supposed to be cheaper taxes or something to that effect. Cover your land with moth balls to keep snakes away...they hate the smell of them too. We have rabbits possums, raccoons, field mice and ANTS!!!! Our trailer is up on cement blocks and tied down. As far as hurricanes and tornadoes...we try to go to a motel ...because we have pets and we won't leave them. You also need to run water lines to your trailer and you will need a power pole and an electric meter box. I hope I have covered all that you need...if I miss anything I will post again. Good luck and hope all goes smoothly for you
