How does this work, if we're talking plumbing, HVAC, Hydro, and Telecommunications services ?

I see these things can cost as much as a normal house. I wish I could get a nice one-container model, and put it on a campsite, like Indian Acres in VA, and use it as a getaway. If I could keep it on wheels, the better. I understand they last around 25 to 30 years. Probably a better option for retirees, not concerned about leaving it to their children.
