I saw a local news story last night that 400+ FEMA trailers were enroute to Greensburg. Kansas for the residents there that were displaced by the tornado that hit the town back in May.

There are also a bunch of them going to one of the reservations in Kansas I believe, at least that was one of the plans awhile back that they were working on.

they can take all those trailers to them so they can trash them also like they did down south. on CNN they showed how people set them on fire and destroyed those trailers inside. im glad they wanted to destroy their places to live that my tax dollars paid for. next time a hurricane hits they can live outside

FEMA trailers don't have any big windows and 2 I saw today had FEMA painted in big red letters across the back . I knew there were some going from the gulf west but the ones I saw were in Ohio . Here's one one eBay . You might not be able to view it after bidding ends http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...QQcmdZViewItem

DO NOT bid on it . See my topic in OTHER on reason not to buy a FEMA trailer .

I seen a few at a RV dealer here in Cincinnati. That all white camper with the single window is a dead give away. I swear the dealer is putting panel stickers and pin stripping on them and selling them as used.

I saw a few in Florida. They have elect fridges like for a house. Not really set up for camping. If thats not enough to turn you off just look at the insides of them after FEMA finally gets the sad sacks out! so dirty and roach infested you wont even want to soil your shoes by steping in one.

It's very sad to see how these folks down here treated these trailers after the gubment (our tax money) got them down here. I had a cousin in one. It was not the plain white one, it was a nice Cedar Creek (I think) camper. They didn't trash it at all. They kept it up like it was their own camper. It sat in his yard for 6 mo's after he called them and told them he was done w/ it. He tried to buy it but, I guess the gubment wanted to bring it somewhere and let someone trash it.

It was dissapointing to say the very least to see how some of my southers neighbors treated this hand out. I should know better though. The ones trashing the trailers are the ones that trashed their own houses before the storm washed it out for them. Now they think the gubment should buy them a new house.
