The Unknown World of the Mobile Home

by Michelle J. Rhodes, John T. Morgan, John Fraser Hart

Book Overview

In American popular imagination, the mobile home evokes images of cramped interiors, cheap materials, and occupants too poor or unsavory to live anywhere else.

Today one of every fourteen Americans lives in a mobile home.
