There is an entire culture of people who must have had the same dream: a group for whom the need to be home is pressing; yet the thought of a Super Wal-Mart cul-de-sac community is a nightmare. A mobile home should be, by definition, mobile. If mobility involves cutting your house in half, removing its contents like pieces in a dollhouse, and propping it up on a semi truck with a "CAUTION WIDE LOAD" sign, how mobile is it?
