That certainly would be your choice, one thousands make every day. You are free to do whatever you like, as long as you keep within the city/town restrictions. Most suburbs for instance will not allow a trailer to be parked on your front lawn, whereas a HOA may not allow a trailer-even a $350k recreational mobile home. You have to store it off site.

You make such choices when and where you choose to move.

Personal responsibility and choices.
