Trailer Life in Ottawa Families Embrace Living on Wheels
John and Mrs. Rodgers chose a trailer at the corner of 9th and Pecan streets after moving to Ottawa. The 8 foot wide unit includes a living room kitchen bedroom bath and storage. Evaporative cooling in summer and oil heat in winter keep comfort while baking shifts to an electric skillet. The Rodger family notes larger trailers offer more space and conveniences, especially for children, and that many Ottawa families occupy trailers.
