‘People everywhere are mad at them’: Forge & Foster’s tiny home troubles draw the ire of campground residents across Ontario

Last year, Larry DeCorte and Jodi Ford sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into luxury RVs located along the tree-lined banks of Jordan’s Twenty Mile Creek — only to learn their four-season, four-wheeled “retirement homes” were not legal in the eyes of the government.

In the Ottawa Valley, Deanna Charlebois and dozens of other trailer campers hired a lawyer to fight a demand for doubled rental fees from a new campground owner — after they had already paid for the season.
