The US Government purchased over 140,000 travel trailers after recent hurricanes to be used as temporary housing. These FEMA trailers are now for sale to the general public. Click here for important information regarding these travel trailers
The U.S. government has disposed of over 140,000 trailers purchased after Hurricane Katrina that were built and ordered for temporary housing but now labeled "not suitable for housing". Federal authorities went to great lengths to purchase labels and warning signs for these trailers in an effort to avoid lawsuits from future buyers. The U.S. government also chose not to sell them to the retail public in another move to avoid consumer suits, rather selling them in bulk to opportunity seeking investors who are now attempting to auction these units to uneducated buyers. Many of these investors purchased these FEMA trailers for between $500 and $1000 each and are now selling them through auctions between $2,500 to $5,000 each.
We do not feel like it is our place to tell you what to buy and what not to buy. But we do feel like a properly educated consumer is good for the entire RV industry. Camperland of Oklahoma DID NOT purchase any FEMA trailers for resale as most consumers do not realize what the real challenges of purchasing these FEMA trailers entail. This is why we have taken the time to post the following information.
