24. And campgrounds can have people parked extremely close together.
Their camper is potentially really dangerous and would ignite a nearby camper in an instant.

While it appears heartless for the campground to deny them a place to park, I'm not sure I'd let them in either in their current state.

They're making something close to $24,000/year, and apparently have been living "rent free" for a while which should have enabled them to save up some. I'm pretty surprised they haven't upgraded. A newer camper can be had for about $1000 which would be healthier for them, and safer for everyone else, and get them into the park.

It sounds like for very little, these folks could find a permanent location but may need assistance in figuring out how to trade in their old camper for what it's worth and negotiate the purchase of a better camper. Wouldn't take much to get them into a permanent location.
