In my studies of local mobile home parks, I have come across the Polynesian MHP. Aside from the one sign, I didn't notice any other evidence of Tiki. In addition, compared to most of the other MHPs I'm familar with, it rates rather low on the scale mainly because it was so poorly maintained and consisted of mostly older, dilapidated homes and RVs. I also saw the story on the news and they interviewed a resident who said the drain near the park had been clogged for the previous 6 months, but that nothing had been done about it.

On a side note:
For a truly Tiki MHP check out the Kona Kai Mobile Village in Canoga Park (in the San Fernando Valley). The Rec room has been frozen in time. Looks like they probably have weekly luaus there. They also have a hot tub off of the pool area that has shells all embedded in the wall beside it. There is one Tiki at the entrance, but it does not appear to be of an authentic style and is also painted bright colors.

Kona Kai is, however, a senior park and therefore you must be 55 or older to own a home there. But you can be under 55 and live there as long as the owner/ co-resident is 55 or older. Hey, we could all move there as we all turn 55 and take over the place!
