No, you weren't missing anything, but the point Patrick McGoohan was trying to make with this show was not to constrain your own mind with concrete answers, so that you were to interpret for yourself what you saw. I could give you an interpretation of Fall Out, but that would be telling.
If you paid attention, the Village was also thought to be somewhere completely away from Britain, where Number 6 wakes up to find the Village completely abandoned and he is allowed to escape, only to be delivered right back to the Village again. Yet, this contradicts what was seen in Fall Out, where the Village seemed to be in Britain itself, not too far from the main highway. So you can't take a literal interpretation of what you're seeing here. Otherwise McGoohan would've shown 6, 2, 48, and the Butler all sailing back to England rather than riding in the back of a trailer.
