This isn't another of these "why are Americans so fat" things is it?

In English terms, imagine a very large 2xwide caravan!

Doesn't that get a bit tricky on the road?

It's a large mobile home, two traffic lanes wide. For some reason people fortunate enough to live in better housing think it's hilarious to make fun of them.

They don't go on the road. Them axles is just for show.

Actually, doublewide prefab homes are transported on flatbeds one side at a time. Dat's why dey call em dat.

By the way, what do a hurricane and a redneck divorce have in common?

That is the spirit intended , Willy-O Sorry Patty clink if you feel I am insensitive. I can think of hundreds of country songs that have more offensive titles

Whew, thanks Patty. And yes, you're right. I sell real estate for a living in a rural area that's been "discovered". One of the first things many people tell me is that I shouldn't show them any property next to "a bunch of hillbillies in trailers!" Seriously! I want to reply that they ought to hurry back to Miami or wherever before the crazy, inbred locals force them to visit a library or some other demented redneck type activity.

Well, Willie-O, you know more about trees than doublewides! :-) A doublewide mobile home actually has a set of steel rails and two or more axles under each half. A "manufactured home" (different set of HUD codes) is transported as you describe.

Dock Boggs did a song called "There'll be no dissapointment in heaven". Could be the basis for a trailer house version.

If they don't go on the road they aren't caravans. Mobile homes.

In England mobile homes are the kind of places respectable retired people often live in, before moving on to heaven.

It seems that in America people who live in trailers are one minority whom it's seen as ok to sneer at.

Before attempting to write a song on the subject, one thing must be made perfectly clear. The correct pronunciation for the word is "dubbawahd".

I lost my home
In a raging gale
The wind did moan
The wind did wail

I did not run I did not hide. I went to heaven
In my Double-wide

Of course there's "Goodbye to the thirty-foot trailer" But of course that's length not width, and they had to be able to go on the roads, ready or not.

Well, I know that if Jack the Sailor is on the case then all is well. But if you're gonna write a song about dubbawhad den you gonna have to make some reference Iron City Beer, duct tape and my cousin Rufus and his rather large but sweet -- do anything fir ya -- wife Retha May. They used to live in a dubbawhad but lost half of it on a drunken bet on football or something and now the two of them just live in half a dubbawhad...

Thanks Jack the Sailor and Bobert for your input in the spirit it was intended. Some food for thought! Terrible thing losing 1/2 a house in a bet!

Chorus: There'll be no dubbawahd in Heaven
There'll be a mansion at every door
No lock keys will ever be given
Murd'rers and thieves have all been reformed...

No, a modular ("manufactured") home is built on and delivered on a wheeled chassis, not set on a flatbed and brung out and tooken off and set up. Least that's what we have here.

I believe that the correct pronunciation is : duwb-bul-wad

the question is not "will thur bayee duwbbulwadz eeyun hayuhvin", but rather, "will mah new duwbbulwad bayee reddee fer mayee if'n ah gitz tuh hayuhvin?"
