I have seen with my own eyes an incapacitated elderly woman living sedentary and alone in a trailer on the Gulf Coast, not because she was a retiree enjoying the RV, but because that was the best she could do under the circumstances she was in. Social Services will find these people, if they are identified, and thusly help them. I suspect we have an elderly person that did just that - bought a new TT and moved into an RV in a park, now finding items of disrepair on it.
I would suggest the original poster may be a lady who is perhaps new to RV'ing and little experience in these matters. Back in the day an experienced Good Sam member or other RV'er in the area would volunteer to stop by and asses the issues, then offer some advice.
Back when we traveled more and I was much healthier, I helped many other folks and asked for, and received help myself once. (Thanks OldUsedBear :))
I know social values have really changed but do we no longer help others? Many years ago I read a good number of posts about someone helping another - not so much these days.
Oh, and I deleted many of the not so friendly posts in this thread!
When the Internet, and forums were young on-line 15+ years ago,some people with poor eyesight had to type in ALL CAPS, just to see the letters. I suspect that may be the case here with the inexperienced typist - the OP TONYA.
