I have a couple of friends who have done this. They have bought some land (5-10 acres) and put the trailer there. No bills, payments or anything other than yearly taxes and insurance. If you have a place with some land, then get solar power, perhaps a wind generator and you could be really set.
When you get to a point where you do not need that much and are not showing off to anyone, what else do you need? I owe about $150k on my house, and its worth around $500k so looking at it from this aspect I could retire in a few years and live with a setup like this very easily.
Have seen some doublewide versions that have all the room most people need and are very nice. Well worth looking at IMHO... especially if its located on a fly-in airport and I have a hangar for the plane and cars next to the house!
