Park Model Homes Are An Excellent Choice For Snowbirds And Vacationers

By: Jamie Jake Home | Finance | Real Estate


Park model homes are usually owned by people that like the campground or resort and stay there for extended period of times like snow birds from up north. You own the unit and pay a yearly rental fee to the campground for the lot.

Park Models are most often insured as stationary trailers on recreational vehicle policies. Park models are an excellent choice for Snowbirds or vacationers. They provide comforts of home with less cost than a larger mobile home. Park models are licensed, taxed, and regulated as a recreational vehicle. In the state of Texas, if they are not lived in full time and not used as income property, they MAY be excluded from property tax.

A park model is a good choice for a permanent campsite that is rented by the year. The trailer is transported to the site, set up, and left there for the year. A Park Model is a recreation vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters for recreation, camping or seasonal use. A Park model is built on a single chassis, mounted on wheels. A park model is what we have in mind, just have to find a place to put it.

They are constructed to whatever codes the motor vehicle department for the state where they are constructed will require. A Park Model is a structure on a chassis where each piece can not exceed 400 square feet excluding the loft, which can not exceed 60? in height. They can fit in R/V parks and be moved like typical manufactured homes.

A park model is really somewhere in between mobile or manufactured homes and RVs. The major technical difference between a park model RV trailer and a regular RV is that the park model lacks holding tanks. A park model is meant to be the maximum size that qualifies as an RV and not a mobile home. This has to do with the regulation of RV Parks.

A park model is more of a small mobile home than a recreational vehicle, in appearance and function. A park model is really a mobile home, not a RV. In addition to no holding tanks, they don’t have water tanks, propane tanks, roof A/C, elec power cords, etc, etc.

A Park Model is 14? or narrower and 40? or shorter and is not built to either HUD building code or any site building code like UBC or BOAC or CABO or any other site building code. They are constructed to whatever codes the motor vehicle department for the state where they are constructed will require.

Park Model homes are most often placed in planned communities, recreational home parks and resort properties. However, the park model homeowner may also place on private property.
