Living in a senior mobile home park, we are thankful for the rent control ordinance, and the YMRA...But, Mobile homes are generally a lot less to heat and cool than big houses...But not this year!

So here are the main reasons why, and lets hope this gets better soon...How high was your bill? A checker at Vons told me her gas bill on their large home in Yucaipa was $460!
