weellllll... lesseee... ummmm, OK, I guess we'll let you claim trailer
bragging rights in this case....
sounds like you earned em, fair 'n square    ;)
how long was this trailer?
I'm quickly finding out that one person's mobile home is another person's
travel trailer.....   the definitions get a little squishy, specially during
the 50's apparently....

one person tells me anything longer than 23' is a mobile home, another
says the presence of a full service bathroom is the qualifier...
seems to me there is still some room for discussion on the subject   ;)

I've found a gentleman in california who is busily restoring "antique travel
trailers", including 1950's era Spartan royal mansions, which were up to
48' long, and were most DEFINITELY "mobile homes"....
but he calls them travel trailers...
none of the scholarly works I've read so far has offered a precise
definition....

OK, so don't tell us about that, like you didn't tell us about the trailer  ;)
