| Yes with 5 dogs 
It lasted all of one month, we then found an apartment to stay in until our house was built.

| I did for a year, by myself in the biggest 5r that you can buy.
I would have been a homicidal maniac if forced to live it with a family.

Location: Displaced Iowegian | My son has but it was pretty big....It was 36 x 8 and was really nice. It even had a place for a washer/dryer. He was an over the road semi driver so wasn't there much....I don't think I would have a problem living in one for a short time 3-6 months but there is just the two of us! I think it would get pretty carmped for you, hubby AND a child. |

Location: MI | We did this summer. Had 5 of us (my husband and I, a 1 year old boy, and 4 and 5 year old girls) in a 1980s Jaeco 34' fifth wheel. We had a house fire on Easter morning, lived in an extended stay hotel for 1 week, and my husband was done. We moved back to our land and lived in the fifth wheel while our house was being fixed.
I do not want to go camping for a while. We didn't cook hardly, it was just too much, but did eat there sometimes. It was a cold April and May and our back heater started backfiring and malfunctioning, so we used an electric heater. The kids and I stayed in town during bad weather.
All in all, it was better than living in a hotel, but rough, I'm not gonna lie. |

| We lived in our horse trailer for 6 months, not a living quarters just a small dressing room and 3 of us plus one dog. We were racing so at facilities that had showers, cooked in a micro and hotplate, did dishes with a hose. I was lucky there was enough work to do that I didn't have to spend much time hanging out at the trailer. It wasn't all bad had a summer full of memories but was pretty happy to get back to a house . My daughter who was 6 had the best time ! |
