Chinese Fire Drill!

I have been buying packages of travel trailers down on the Gulf Coast. This latest package was 11 units coming out of Livingston, La. and Gulfport, Ms.

This week while picking up some of the units I got a chance to talk to an RV transport driver pulling units out of Ga. to La. He said the factory that he pulled out of was turning out 15 units a day.(the FEMA rat boxes with a bed and bath and 1 window. No holding tanks or propane system. A little dormatory refer screwed to the wall)

Here is the kicker: Thursday I made a La. turn from Ft. Worth and passed over a hundred used FEMA trailers coming out of La. heading north to Shreveport. Not to mention the over 100 units I have bought and pulled out since March.

It's a mind boggling thang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our tax dollars at work................!
