What is a park home?
Park Trailers are recreational vehicles primarily designed as
temporary living quarters for recreation, camping or seasonal
use. They are built on a single chassis, mounted on wheels
and have a gross trailer area not exceeding 400 square feet
in the set-up mode. Each Park Trailer is certified and built in
compliance with the ANSI A119.5 standard.
How big are park model homes?
Two different types of Park Trailers are offered. One type is
102" in width and is designed for frequent travel on the
highways while the other and more popular type is 11' or 12'
wide and must be transported with special movement permits
from the state highway department. The 8' 6" unit typically is
expandable when it reaches its destination utilizing slide-outs
or tip-outs. The wider units are typically sited in a resort or RV
park providing a more permanent vacation property.
