Abstract
Abstract A ground anchor for house trailers which includes a pair of cylindrical concrete members which extend angularly into the ground at a converging angle and intersect well below the ground. A rod is embedded in each of the cylindrical concrete members with the rods interlocking at their juncture. Turnbuckles connect the upper ends of the rods to the frame of a house trailer and additional turnbuckles connect to straps which engage over the top of the trailer to prevent the trailer from becoming separated from its frame.
