Trailer park

A British man recently upset his neighbours somewhat after converting a 12.2m-long refrigerated truck into a mobile home. The vehicle features a shower, kitchen area, two bedrooms and a living room, with a lift providing easy access. The man took down a section of fencing so that he could park the truck on his property. Although the man is delighted with his new vehicle, his neighbours are somewhat less enchanted and described it as a massive eyesore.

Seeing the snow-covered Jeep Cherokee, the snowmobilers were concerned that someone had crashed and was trapped inside. The car did not contain any drink or drugs and the man spoke coherently with the snowmobilers but they were concerned at his condition as well as the overpowering smell from inside the vehicle, and contacted
