A Conversation for Australian Caravan Park Culture
Tornado Magnets

Good article.
Your reference to the parks in the US should also include that they act like Tornado Magnets. (In fact, the locals do refer to them by that name at times). How many times have you heard on the news in Australia about a tornado hitting a "trailer park" as they call it? You plot the tornado's path and it seems the bloody thing aims right for them.
The other image of the trailer parks in the US includes the following characteristics:
1. A "double wide". You know you're someone when you're living in a double wide!
2. A big satelite dish on the roof.
3. A pick up truck at the front (gun rack optional).
4. A big old American car, on bricks, at the front. (Again the locals laugh, saying that there appears to be a competition as to who can get their old car higher on the bricks).
I believe the governor of one of the southern states is presently living in a double wide? Could someone tell me the state?
