A subtrope of Horrible Housing that treats a trailer like the most horrible sort of housing available. Because of the ubiquity of "Friends" Rent Control in fiction, the quickest way to establish that a character is extremely poor is to have them live in a trailer or RV park. In fiction, trailers are only ever inhabited by the poorest characters — and bonus points if they are also loutish, Addled Addicts, The Alcoholic, or stupid (hence "trailer trash"). As well, bonus points if the trailers are dilapidated and the land around them looks like a garbage-strewn scrapyard with rusting cars and broken appliances everywhere. In fiction, the inhabitants of trailer parks collect social assistance to live, supplementing their check with lowbrow crimes like selling (or cooking up) meth, stealing items and selling them, and selling illegal guns. Women are depicted as making a living from The Oldest Profession or stripping. If the protagonist themselves is not one, they'll probably live in a trailer with Abusive Parents. In an American work, expect the trailer's inhabitants to exhibit Deep South and/or Flyover Country stereotypes, owing to the association of trailers and mobile homes with the Southern United States. You're also likely to find people living in old trailers on the Neglected Rez. There may be overlap with Pottery Barn Poor, where, in spite of their poverty, the characters will still have nice clothes, cars from the year of the production and other middle-class amenities like new laptops. This trope has the distinction of being Truth in Television and not. To some extent, the "trailer trash" stereotype grew out of the "shanty towns" that sprung up during The Great Depression, although they were often tents or shacks. The modern modular/manufactured home, meanwhile, was popularized by Alabama businessman James Sweet after World War II, and most of them were and still are sold to lower-income and lower-middle class people as a cheaper alternative to normal houses. It's true that they were often unsanitary, unregulated, poorly built, and miserable places to live compared to the alternatives, even if regulations since The '70s have cracked down on the worst examples. In the 2020s, though, there are well-maintained RV parks. Nonetheless, the "trailer trash" stereotype is now so embedded in modern culture that the mere glance at a trailer home will be used to communicate the poverty and/or misery of a character's situation. In Europe, this trope also grew out of unpleasant stereotypes about Irish Travellers and Romani people, specifically due to their nomadic lifestyle and criminal reputations. (However, in the modern day, trailer inhabitants will generally — and ironically — not be nomadic.) If they are, it may be a variety of a person who Lives in a Van, but generally not. The significance of these portrayals is that the trailer itself is the source of much mockery and/or distaste. Trailer Park Tornado Magnet can be one reason why, but in general, the reasons why trailers are disproportionately horrible will usually rely on internal reasons. This trope will most often apply when the character is the only person who lives in one, with the Big Fancy House as standard. However, it can apply to trailer parks in general if they are portrayed as a Wretched Hive. |

Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V lives in a dilapidated trailer that is perpetually untidy and strewn with garbage. After her kidnapping, Patricia Madrazo cleans up the trailer and it is spotless during her stay with Trevor, although it quickly reverts back to its messy state after she leaves him. Pictured above is Stab City, a primary hangout for one of Trevor's rival organizations, the Lost motorcycle club. | |

Roseanne has a field day with this trope when Mark and Becky move into a trailer park. Jokes include a white trash neighbor, Becky having to bring a stick for safety when getting water from a pump (and don't forget the water purification tablets), and Jackie noting that they can't all gather in one room or the trailer will tip over. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: Filburt lives in a modest trailer in the Patch-O-Heaven Trailer Park, even after he marries Dr. Hutchison. One episode has him competing on a Game Show to win a new house...which would basically be a new version of the house he already has, and he's all excited. Possibly justified in that he is a turtle. | |

King of the Hill: Luanne used to live in a trailer park with her alcoholic mother, who is serving time in jail, moving in with her uncle Hank and aunt Peggy and becoming a regular member of the Hill family. One episode had Hank try to get Luanne to move back into her old trailer, just as a tornado is approaching. Later on in the series, Peggy warns Luanne that due to her upbringing (in a trailer park), she will always be attracted to trailer trash guys who have no jobs and instead make money off of frivolous lawsuits. Luanne ignores this advice and takes up with Lucky anyways. |

In Hot Fuzz, this is invoked as an important part of the backstory: When a bunch of Irish Travellers settled down in the town of Sandford shortly before the Town of the Year competition several years ago, they ruined the town's looks so much by being a bunch of louts that the town lost that year. This caused Inspector Frank Butterman's wife, who had driven herself to the point of exhaustion to clean up the town, to fall into despair and decide to get in her car and "have a traffic collision". This in turn caused Inspector Butterman, who is the local chief of police, to become psychotic and gather a number of the town's like-minded townsmen to enforce Sandford's pristine appearance so it would never lose the "Town of the Year" award ever again, by murdering anybody who did anything that threatened that appearance, no matter how insignificant or petty. Shortly after he hears Butterman's Motive Rant, Sergeant Nicholas Angel runs into one of the abandoned caravans while running away from the bad guys trying to silence him, now full of skeletons (making it a very literal example). | |

Nomadland: Inverted in the movie. Aside from some minor issues that obviously come from living in a vehicle, the protagonist and most of the people she encounters find living a nomadic lifestyle in vans, RVs and trailers to be a fulfilling lifestyle (even the one who calls it quits at the end of the film had it clear from early on that he only wanted to live as a nomad temporarily). Averted in the book, which makes it clear that its subjects are not "trash", but is also blunter about the hardships (such as lack of healthcare). | |

Davey Stone from Eight Crazy Nights lives in a very small trailer near a junkyard. His trailer has no electricity and no running water, because no one wants to hire an insulting, alcoholic jerkass. Davey is somewhat looking forward to being sent to jail for his misdemeanors, as jail has heated cells and working toilets. Davey loses what little he had when a Sore Loser sets Davey's trailer ablaze. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: While the rest of the cast live in nice suburban homes, the Kanker Sisters live in a trailer park out in the woods. Mostly they serve as Abhorrent Admirers to the Eds, but they rarely have positive interactions with the other kids, acting as uncouth bullies. The very end of Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show reveals that Eddy's highly abusive older brother lives in one of these. |

Dark Places: Subverted. Libby expects to not like her Aunt Diane's trailer because she's used to living in the Day house. However, because Patty was totally broke while Diane, while poor, is not overburdened by debt, she learns that living in the trailer can actually be more pleasant than her farmhouse. | |

Black Friday: Lex hates her mother for being an Alcoholic Parent and overall negligent, and for being a Lower-Class Lout. When she and her sister plan to run away, she leaves a rather scathing "goodbye" note, ending with, "Get yourself a new trailer, because this one is broke as shit." | |

Stand By Your Man: The fact that Lorraine lives in a trailer at the start of the series is shown as a symbol of how bad she has it in life, especially in comparison to her sister Rochelle, who lives in a Big Fancy House and is Happily Married. | |

Justified: Naturally, a lot of the poorer or lower-class characters (most of them embroiled in the drug trade) live in trailers. Exaggerated in that trailers are also portrayed as places where people with other homes go to do dirty business; for example, the brothel Audrey's is actually a series of trailers, Quarles stays in a trailer while in Harlan (and likes to torture prostitutes in a separate trailer), and Arlo violates his house arrest by living in a trailer in his garden. | |
