Trailer courts serve their purpose, Martin. There is no shame in living in one. For us, it is a good way to get back on our feet after most of the jobs in JtS' area of expertise (computer software consultant) got shipped to other countries. For many of the other people who live in this trailer park, it is a convenient place to live while they put in their time serving their country at the Fort Benning army base.

I don't experience any shame for the fact that we are living here for the time being (or even if we found ourselves needing to stay here). The foolish people are the ones who live beyond their means and beyond the circumstances in which they find themselvs just to impress others, or who allow their sense of self worth to be defined by their material circumstances.
