Park Model Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A park model is an RV designed for extended stays in one location. It offers the comfort and feel of a small home while being built and certified as a recreational vehicle.

Yes. Park models are classified as RVs and built to RV industry standards.

Most park models are up to 400 square feet (not including loft or porch areas), which allows them to remain classified as RVs.

No. Park models are RVs—not tiny homes, modular homes, or mobile homes—and follow different construction standards and regulations.

Most park models use 50-amp electrical service.

Many units come with washer/dryer prep, and we can install washer/dryer units inside the cabinet or closet if desired.

Yes—typically including refrigerator, stove, microwave, and ample cabinetry. Custom orders can include upgrades such as dishwashers or wine refrigerators.

Park models can be equipped with different air conditioning options depending on your needs and site setup.

• In lofted units, there is typically a supplemental wall-mounted AC unit to help cool the loft area.
• Units come prepped for central air, allowing you to choose the system that works best for your location.

Available central air options typically include:

• 1-ton system
• 2-ton system
• Heat/Cool system (for extended season use)

The recommended system depends on factors such as site location, sun exposure, insulation package, and climate.

It depends on local zoning and municipal regulations. Each township and municipality has different rules, so you should check local ordinances before placing a park model on private land.

Common locations include:

• Campgrounds
• RV resorts
• Seasonal sites
• Private resort communities
• Approved private land (where permitted)

No. We install on grass, gravel, or concrete. They are typically installed on leveled pads or blocks depending on the site.

They are professionally transported and set up by experienced installers who handle leveling and placement if you choose as part of your delivery package.

We deliver throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Our team coordinates transportation, permits, and logistics to ensure safe and professional delivery to your site.

At this time, we do not offer international shipping.

Canada has different building codes and certification requirements than U.S. park models. Because of these differences, customers interested in placing a unit in Canada will need to work with a dealer that is based in Canada and carries units built specifically for Canadian regulations.

Yes. We offer several delivery package options depending on your location and needs.

Full-service setup (available within approximately 350 miles) can include:

• Delivery coordination
• Professional leveling and placement
• Utility connections
• Setup completion

For locations outside this range, we deliver nationwide and can help guide you through the setup process with trusted partners and recommendations.

Delivery and setup timelines vary depending on time of year, transportation availability, weather conditions, and site readiness.

Spring and early summer are our busiest seasons, and delivery schedules can book out well in advance. For customers hoping to be set up and ready for the camping season, we strongly recommend planning ahead to secure your preferred delivery window.

Off-season orders may allow for more flexible scheduling and shorter turnaround times.

Absolutely. Depending on the manufacturer, nearly everything can be customized:

• Floorplan layout
• Colors and finishes
• Furniture
• Bed size
• Appliances
• Features and upgrades

Yes. Any model you see can typically be ordered without a loft.

Most park models come standard with a patio sliding door, which allows for natural light and easy access to decks or porches.

If preferred, many models can be ordered with a residential-style entry door instead. We can help you select the door option that best fits your layout and site setup.

Yes. Porches are a popular upgrade and a great way to expand your living space and enhance the outdoor experience.

Porches can typically be built up to 10 feet wide and do not count toward the 400 square foot limit, allowing you to increase usable space while maintaining RV classification.

Many customers customize their porch with features such as:

• Outdoor fireplaces
• Ceiling fans
• Lighting packages

A well-designed porch adds both functionality and visual appeal, creating a comfortable outdoor living area that complements the park model.

Yes. We offer professional skirting installation to complete the look and improve performance of your park model.

Most commonly requested colors are white or clay, and additional colors are available upon request.

We also offer insulated skirting, which can help improve energy efficiency and temperature control.

As part of the skirting process, we come to your site to:

• Re-level the park model (as minor settling can occur after installation)
• Install the skirting system professionally

Skirting not only helps with insulation, but it also gives the park model a clean, finished appearance.
