Imagine you're JESUS only in the 21st century. Are you stuck in the city? No! You have a TEAR DROP TRAILER and you wander the world. You park your teardrop in a nice valley, clear a field and compost the land where you might want to grow next Spring and you leave the compost there rotting all Winter long. You could camp there in Winter, too, shoot game, create a freezer box up in a tree where bears can't get in. Fish the rivers and lakes nearby for quality protein (FISHING LESSONS) But, if you're going to do that, do see Sean Penn's latest movie. You will need a space heater and a ton of canned food.
Spring, when the wildflowers start to come up, you can plant your own private valley. I'll send you the seeds free (FREE LIST) Or here's a thought give the seeds to someone with a farm where you might rent a room, and come and go while THEY care for your communal garden while you travel. You hit the highway for a month when the farmer roomies don't need you, then return for planting, harvesting, pitching hay, spreading compost, turning the compost in.
If you are a fellow, it sure wouldn't hurt if the farmer were a nice single lady raising a nice farm kid or two, kind of like that movie, "PLACES IN THE HEART". Those lonely farm kids are all really worth investing PARENTAL HOURS in. And occasionally, you can take the entire farm family on a spin to the lake or waterfalls for a weekend, teach them to bag trout, game. You'll sure be a hit with your TEARDROP! Thusly armed, you'll quickly see that MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE isn't such a bad thing. The concept is, don't stick to the nasty big city rut you were in, that horrid job, slaving 40 hours a week for some idiot who fired you anyway, first crunch that came along. Living in that seedy area where your condo or home WAS. Investing all that $ in a down payment and having the bank eat it alive and evict you anyway. MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THAT! (NOT!)
Yassir, discard that awful life. GET YOURSELF a TEAR DROP TRAILER. BUILD ONE. What fun to plan the interior for max usage. CHECK THESE SITES:

The frame is SOLDERED STEEL, some really strong
bonds between individual pieces. Most guys did some soldering in
high school, where you heat soft metal to join wires or whatever but this
is a bigger job. Find the guys who do that. MAKE the floor only strong,
solid part to keep the weight down, endure road stresses of bumps. Other
than that, you could build your own http://busterbilly.blogspot.com/2004/06/teardrop-travel-trailer-urge.html
A close pal of mine who at age 45 bought his first property, (paying
way too much, seeing it go halves in value while payments doubled, go figure
that logic!) is now waiting for the anvil hammer of eviction to sound.
It's due in about two weeks. He told me "Yesterday
a motor home passed me on the road and I thought, one could build the kind
where the sides fold out (1 down 1 up) you could get a friend to build
one, hit the road together & connect em when parked and have a big
front/party room. Even big busses are too narrow. Were I rich I might consider
putting cargo containers under the floor, having a big glass panel on one
side, so you can be inside with a view. " That last doesn't seem
like a good idea as this is gonna take road stress, but maybe a small window
of unbreakable glass. Make your own DRAWING OF YOUR IDEAL ONE. A carpenter
could build it with you. After you have the firm interior metal frame. 
NOTE THAT THIS ONE has a hard wood, WOODEN FRAME at bottom. Maybe it's
to go on top of a metal conveyer. Build it light, build it RIGHT and a
VW BUG could haul tear drop. Any four cylinder economical car. The trick
is a good hitch and a tear drop is light on her feet as a fairy traveling
the highways and byways at 60 miles an hour, spreading good luck and joy
to all. Build it heavy and you'll burn up your VW BUG!

THE SECOND THOUGHT IS A SCHOOL BUS CONVERSION and the THIRD THOUGHT is a CARGO VAN OR DODGE VAN CONVERSION. These get written up AT THE CONVERSION FILE.
