Chet Hanks Ditches Condo for RV Life in Nashville
30 Apr
Summary
- Chet Hanks chose RV living to avoid furnishing another home.
- He found community and dispelled negative stereotypes about trailer parks.
- His band Something Out West is pursuing country music in Tennessee.
Chet Hanks, the 35-year-old son of actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to focus on his country music career with his band, Something Out West. Opting against a traditional apartment, Hanks has been living in a Jayco Eagle RV. This choice stemmed from his recent acquisition and furnishing of a condo in Los Angeles, which he did not wish to repeat.
Hanks initially stayed in rental homes and hotels but found the arrangement tiresome. An earlier experience with an Airstream RV in Northern California inspired his current mobile living situation, which he finds convenient for its self-contained amenities, including a kitchen and a walk-in shower.
Beyond personal convenience, Hanks has discovered a positive community aspect to trailer park living, challenging its common "sketchy" stereotype. He values the sense of personal space and the supportive environment he has found in his new Tennessee home.
