If so what a waste of money the government put out for them to sit out and collect mold.|||FEMA purchased more that 120 thousand mobile homes, park model trailers and travel trailers in 2005 to house Katrina victims.
The purchases were made before anyone considered the trailers would need water, electric and sewer service to make them habitat. Unfortunately, there were few RV parks, campgrounds and mobile home parks able to take them. Some 'trailer towns' were build but public infrastructure was in no shape to handle enough 'trailer towns' to park 120 thousand units so the trailers were parked in holding areas where most still are today.
It was a total waste of money cased by not knowing anything about how RVs are used and then not allowing them to be disbursed by those who could have used them because of bureaucratic red tape.
I personally believe the formaldehyde issue was way over hyped but in any case, five years is plenty of time for any gases from the manufacturing process to dissipate.
In the past few months FEMA has been more active in auctioning off the trailers... mostly in large lots to resellers. Unfortunately they are being sold at pennies on the dollar. Fortunately, that means there are some good deals to be had if you shop right.
