In short, it’s basically an RV that feels like a house! But you’re probably looking for more details so here goes…
Although Park Models might look like small manufactured homes, they are not the same thing! Park Models are a type of recreation vehicle and are titled & registered the same as RVs.
They must be RVIA certified. This means that the manufacturer has complied with all necessary requirements and standards within the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. (RVIA)
Some of these standards include:
- Built on a single trailer chassis
- Mounted on wheels
- Floor plan that is less than 400 square feet
Each Park Model must have a blue/gold RVIA seal on the right side of the main door.
Park Models are transportable but are primarily designed for long term or permanent placement at a destination where ever mobile homes or RVs are allowed.
While classified as a recreational vehicle, park models are most commonly parked on a foundation at a campground, an RV park, retreat center or on private property. There they can be connected to common utilities like water, sewer, electricity and gas.
What is the difference between an RV and a Park Model? RVs are more portable. If you’re wanting something to do a lot of traveling with, an RV is what you’ll need. Park Models are designed to stay at the vacation location. They are perfect for recreational, seasonal or camping use.
So if you’re a campground owner that’s hoping to attract more customers year round, or if you’re just looking for an affordable option for your second home, Park Model Cabins might be worth checking out!
