Is it more prestigious to have old pick-up trucks or refrigerators outside a double wide trailer?
I am just trying to keep up with the Joneses in the Rusty Hub Trailer Park. The pink flamingos didn’t work or the old bath tubs full of rain water. I did, however get a few compliments for my outdoor collection of old plumbing fixtures.

depends on the brand of refrigerator and especially if it’s a side by side. Makes no difference about the truck as long as it is outside the double wide .

Hmmmm … I have Eleanor, my Elephant, & Henrietta, my Hippo, outside my double wide & I receive my comments hurled my way everyday.
SO I would say I have raised the bar!

Well, since you have a double wide, placing you in the upper echelons of mobile home owners, I would assume that you also have a higher standard of both lawn art and the general ambiance of your surrounds. I remember well when I made the big move to a double. Gone were the tires on the roof. Gone where the 14 washers and dryers on the front lawn (well, tall weeds). Though I did keep 3 of each for back up. Yes, I have to admit that looking back, my aluminum abode was some what below Architectural Digest standards.
But not anymore! I was so proud of my enhanced living standard that I sent a few photos to those fellers in New York City. Lo and behold, they got back to me. They want to do a photo spread on my place! ‘Course I have to take off the possum hides I have nailed by the front door. And they want me to put out the trash fire behind the house and cut down the weeds a bit, but I can’t wait to show all my friends how even white trash like me can impress all them New York uppities that spend a couple or 5 million dollars for some "apartment" when I can have 4 acres, a crick, and over 900 square feet of almost tornado proof bliss.
