It would cover those things that slide in and out of utility
vehicles and act as accommodation. <br>
<br>
I think the 'mobile home' is an acceptable term to cover the lot.
Why is it unacceptable? <br>
The emphasise on 'permanent' I think is wrong, but there is enough
vagueness to accept that 'mobile' means mobile. <br>
