216. You'd guess wrong

I owned a 12'X40'trailer, which is an extremely SMALL trailer home. That's 480 square feet.

I used three times the gas I use in my new home each winter. When it was below zero my trailer would average about 58 degrees.

Trailer homes have a sheet of metal on the outside, about an inch and a half of insulation, and then quarter inch paneling on the inside. The one pictured above may not even have insulation.

Live in one and you'll know the hell that they are and the extreme expense to heat one.

The trailer above is probably 600 to 800 square feet.
