A new place to stay! (Maybe?)

Part of my project is trying to find a place in Redmond to sleep during the week to cut down my commute. It would save me around $250 a month in gas, plus between 9 and 12 hours a week driving (that's like 2 classes worth of homework time!). So far nothing has worked out that is in my price range, until now.

I visited my family for my birthday recently. While I was with them, I told them about some of the projects I'm working on for school, including  my house project. I told them about how I almost had a place in Redmond but it didn't work out. My dad then offered to let me use his 28 foot trailer since he only needs it 2 weeks out of the year.
It's a really nice trailer with propane heating, a full kitchen and bathroom (including a shower, though it needs a little work).

That makes things much easier. I don't have to rely on someone else now, and it should be easier to find a cheap place to park it than to find a cheap place to stay. I'm currently researching options for mobile home parks and private properties. I've talked to a few people who are helping me look for a spot. My only requirement is an electric hookup (which can be as simple as an extension cord), and WiFi would be nice but I can manage without. I can afford up to $250/month.
