A beautiful day in the trailer park.

Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks has been living in an RV since ditching Hollywood for a county music career in Nashville.

The 35-year-old explained to “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” viewers last week that he “didn’t want to get an apartment” when he moved to Tennessee because he had “just … furnished” a Los Angeles condo.

“I didn’t want to do that again,” the singer said during the April 29 interview, noting that the rental homes he stayed in at first got “really old” really quickly.

He, instead, purchased an RV, which has “everything [he] need[s].”

Chet explained, “I just like having my own space. I got my kitchen. I got a walk-in shower — that’s a big deal in trailers.”

He clarified that the trailer park he resides in is far from “sketchy” and primarily includes “retirees.”

“I’m probably the youngest person in the trailer park by 30 or 40 years,” Chet quipped, dubbing his neighbors “good people.”

In a March Instagram video, he clapped back at those wondering, “What the f–k, why are you living in a trailer?”

The “Running Point” star called the move “easy” and “inexpensive,” telling his followers, “These things aren’t f–king expensive. This s–t is cheap as f–k. I got it for 30 grand. It’s a 2025 [model]. I put four grand on it, and my rent is 400 bucks a month.”

As for those “brainwashed by the whole hustle culture,” Chet advised them to “stop, pause and think [about] what it is that [they] really even like.”

He asked, “What’s the f–king dream? To drive a Rolls Royce? … Those are f–king things. living your dream is a verb not a f–king noun.”

The actor and his Something Out West band made their debut at last month’s Stagecoach music festival — and Tom, 69, was all smiles as he swayed and sang along to their “You Better Run” performance.

Chet is the Oscar winner and wife Rita Wilson’s eldest child together, with the couple also sharing 30-year-old son Truman.

Tom, additionally, is the father of Colin, 48, and Elizabeth Ann, 43, from his previous marriage to Samantha Lewes.
