Originally I was going to ask, are there mobile homes in Hawaii? Though when I thought back, I remember seeing one parked on a street near where I lived some years ago. So I guess my more general question is, why aren't there more RVs in Hawaii?
Save the snarky answers. I know it's mostly because you can't exactly drive in or out to or from another state. That there aren't that many places to go. That shipping an RV here would be incredibly expensive. But is that all?
Is Hawaii unfriendly to RVs? Say, from a regulatory standpoint? (There are occasional references to them in HRS, but oddly enough many times in entries relating to agriculture.) Are they commercial vehicles, or accommodations? Are there any RV facilities anywhere in Hawaii (i.e. parking with water and power service)?
I see this company rents RVs on the Big Island, probably the only island where it makes sense. But apart from that, mobile homes and RVs seem incredibly rare. I know our streets are packed as it is, but with the housing market in such dire straits, I'm wondering why they haven't picked up at all. After all, there was that whole family living in a set of old tour buses...

I have neighbors across the street from me who are like those trailer park people: they get on top of 12 ft high ladders and hand each other running chainsaws at the top of the ladder to trim a 20 ft high hedge. They hacked it to death last year and got it down to about 5 ft tall but then never did anything to keep it trimmed so now it's 20 ft high again. They have an amateur autobody shop in this garage across the street and will be sanding, pounding out dents and spray painting (with spray cans, mind you) with hip hop music blaring (they are white). When cars drive by too fast, they make snarky comments that of course the drivers of those cars can't hear (but I CAN). We keep wishing they would move back to the trailer park from which they were obviously spawned.
