In America we have trailer parks, made up of mobile homes. people often own their trailer and rent the lot, although sometimes people just rent the trailer. They are called mobile homes but for the most part they never get moved anywhere.
Trailer Park Trash is a pretty derogatory term used to describe a specific breed of White Trash.
(white trash isn't a tag used only for white people by the way).

My coworkers and I were just discussing these terms and their definitions (it actually started because we were discussing Tonya Harding, who - it was said qualifies as both white trash and trailer park trash) and I've never seen a trailer park in another country. are these exclusive to the US? or do other countries have communities made entirely of Mobile Homes that never go anywhere that people live in permanently?

For the record, I have an Aunt/Uncle and cousins who have lived in a trailer park my whole life. They are not trailer park trash. It's actually a gorgeous park w a nice pool and woods and trails and such.

Jayda, I think what you're describing is a campground for RV's. (recreational vehicles). I'm talking about a building that's essentially a very nice shed on wheels (some of them are quite large, though). but they NEVER move. you don't take a trailer around the country. you actually need a big rig to move them, not just a big pickup truck. people live in them as permanent homes.
I'd have to see a pic to know for sure. Friends of mine have a huge RV, that they take camping a lot. they could live in it laways, but they tow it with heir pickup truck to places and it normally lives in their driveway.

I don't hate the term white trash anymore than I dislike redneck or hick. I know people who fit these description pretty perfectly. and I think they all know it.
