There are certain things you become accustomed to living full time in an RV park. You get your share of unseemly neighbors and you know that during the winter you will freeze during the night. These things just become a part of day to day life. You also know that if you don't run your air conditioner twenty four hours a day during the summer you will boil and that the occasional wasp will find it's way into the bathroom at the most inopportune times.
Depending on where your park is located you may be surrounded by good neighborhoods. I have mentioned before that we live really close to an airport, this is a general sign that your neighborhood probably isn't that great. Ours certainly isn't. There is a mobile home park across the street and a sewage treatment plant behind us. A major highway runs less than a half a mile away. The land the park is on was taken over by imminent domain in the seventies so no permanent structures can stand on it. This was done to build a reservoir to keep the nearby flood plains from flooding. So all in all it's not a great neighborhood to live in. There are gunshots and police sirens on a nightly basis, or what I find even more creepy, gun shots and no police sirens.
This isn't the worst neighborhood in the city, in fact it's nowhere near that, but it took some getting used to.
