Outdoor wood boiler
They are, fortunately this '69 model was well built with. 050 ths thick aluminum siding then I upgraded it to a structural strength improving new steel roof, that ties the roof to the sidewalls.
The people that first set up the trailer back in '69 poured a full Concrete Slab under the trailer with 6 tie down guy wires anchored onto the cement. Other trailers in the nearby area are set up on sand with cement blocks.
So yeah this particular trailer has stood up to the big storms very well. Other cheaper built trailers in the area were tore apart by the high winds, and some were even a total loss.
For an old shack it has a lot of good things going for it, underground wiring too . . which no other home on the block has, they all have the overhead wiring that the wind can tear down. And this one happens to be on the highest point of elevation in a 5 mile radius so flooding is not an issue.
Got Lucky on this one . . had my eye out for something like this for 10 years and then this one came along. Needed some work, got it taken care of. Happy with the way things have worked out.
