Chet Hanks Says He’s Living in a Nashville Trailer Park to Pursue Country Music

His RV setup signals a bid for authenticity in his push into country music.

Overview

  • Hanks, who confirmed Tuesday on The Tonight Show, said he moved into a Nashville trailer park to focus on his band Something Out West.
  • He chose an RV after a solo trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea where a stay in an Airstream sold him on a simpler setup.
  • He said he skipped another rental after recently furnishing an L.A. condo because bouncing between Airbnbs and hotels felt draining.
  • The Jayco Eagle travel trailer he bought features a kitchen and a walk-in shower, and he has posted towing footage and a tour on social media.
  • He described being decades younger than his mostly retiree neighbors and noted recent momentum for his project with a Stagecoach set on April 25.
