Oh really enjoy the tour thank you for showing us all the options that we have seen very enjoyable yes I have my favorite yes very I am very interested❤
RRC has great tours of these. Would like to know how many years they last. Elderly need safe, sturdy small homes instead of apts. Thanks so much for the tours here. Lot of work and i appreciate it👍
Thanks for the tour-- I've seen Park Models in Florida but never been inside one. These seem shorter than what I'm used to seeing, 40 feet. How long were these? I'm impressed with how quiet they are when inside.
Thanks Liz Amazing. Typical Park Models under 399 square feet are about 11 feet wide x 40 feet long, not including the porches that are usually 4 feet to 10 feet, assuming a front door and an added option. I didn't think about how quiet they are, but now I do considering the place was along a major highway.
Love the tours. Where was this lot? I'd like to take a trip and go tour somewhere that has a lot of PM's to go through, rather than just 3 or 4. I'm a "forced retiree" (COVID layoff), own my own land and double wide right now in Western AZ, close to the CO River. I'm wanting to move out of the heat, and don't want a 1600 sf house to take care of anymore. PM's look so interesting, but don't know until you get inside of a few to get a true sense of space, and all. Thanks!!
If you're talking about Recreational Resorts & Cottages, they're in Rockwall, Texas just east of Dallas. Just do a search for "Mr. Tiny" on TH-cam and you'll get a PhD in Park Models once you make it through his playlist. 😂
Before we decided on VanLife we looked into park models... ultimately we changed our. Because is was not mobile enough. But theses places are often really nice inside. Loft are usually short yup.. Great video..
I purchased another lot that came with a park model. It does have a similar propane heater found in an RV, but I just use electrical space heaters when needed. It's a drier heat than propane. Some are built with AC also. If you can find a used one and have it moved to a lot, it could be much less expensive than purchasing new. My two cents.
Well done video Are you a Park Model owner or a RV owner? I am 65 retired and need to make a decision. Prices are about the same. One more comfortable and less headache than another? Maintenance Lot rent Insurance Licensing ? So may things to think about Do and Donts Best advice I think a newbie like my self could get is someone that has experience both. Plus and Minus I am sure I need to do something soon Dont want or need a house or a lease on a condo or town home or apartment Darn what should I do ? Thanks
I now have a PM and an RV. PM are so much nicer but are very difficult to move so I wouldn't buy one unless you own your own lot. With an RV you can be more nimble and move if you don't like the location or the lot rent gets too expensive.
@@NomadicRVLiving I am thinking a Park Model is a great base camp all in one location comfortable quiet And mire relaxing. RV parked 5 feet apart Generators running Expensive day or week spots. Electrical has to be in top condition at pedestals when all those AC units kick in at the same time. Unless you are boondocking The PM I am looking at are a month lot rent and utilities and taxed. They said they sell the PM at cost ($75K) and the lot rent is where the 55 and over make their money. And each year lots rents increase. Just like our current inflation and economy…. If I only had my own land.., they don’t make land anymore. Thanks
You would have to check with the specific dealer, but generally they include up to a few hundred miles. The prices probably have gone up since I published the video.
Isn’t there a different width with RV vs Park Model? I thought RVs couldn’t be more than 8 or 8.5’ wide depending on the state. I thought Park Models were wider. If I’m misunderstanding please help me!
Park models are usually 10 - 12 feet wide and generally require a special permit and transport company to move them. They also require heavy duty trucks to move them. RVs are not as wide.
@@NomadicRVLiving thank you for replying so quickly. So do park models require RV insurance generally? I’m mind blown right now. I want to full time “RV” (tiny house) but didn’t realize this was an option. Because they’re still RVs are there any additional restrictions/considerations on where they can be parked?
Lofts are good for storage or if you have children stay for a visit. I did realize that while it's nice to have a vaulted ceiling in the bedroom (park models without lofts), I only spend my time in the bedroom sleeping so it wouldn't bother me to have a loft. My current PM doesn't have a loft.
can we see one being pulled by a pickup truck or SUV? What is the point of this? Is this just in case you want to move to another nearby state every 5 years?
Most people who buy park models use them as vacation homes or a home base. While they are technically classified as RVs, they are not easily moved around like a typical travel trailer.
Come on man. Those not even close to a RV. 🤣. You have your regular stick and brick home, your mobile home, your Park models, tiny homes and then you have your RVs.
That's a great price point for me. Thank you for sharing this 😁👍😎

Thanks for the compliment on the video. They last a long time. I purchased a lot that has a 1996 Park Model on it and it's still in great shape.
Any advice on how to live in one full time of you’re not 55 or older?
It seems affordable housing is only allowed for seniors..
Like how you put price in

do these have heat?
Is this considered a tiny home but bigger?

Yes, they are not mobile and great for a home base option, but not for a typical nomadic RV life.
Did you end up purchasing one? I am thinking of using it as home year round on the east coast somewhere but will absolutely need heat

@@daveholte7658 they still sell land every day
Do those prices include the delivery and set up?
You would have to check with the specific dealer, but generally they include up to a few hundred miles. The prices probably have gone up since I published the video.
How hard is it to move one of these once a year to another lot ?
They cost about $5K to move, assuming it's not too far.

What the electric connection?
I don't understand your question.
I cannot stand the lofts, I prefer the single door side entry,
Lofts are good for storage or if you have children stay for a visit. I did realize that while it's nice to have a vaulted ceiling in the bedroom (park models without lofts), I only spend my time in the bedroom sleeping so it wouldn't bother me to have a loft. My current PM doesn't have a loft.

This video would be far more valuable with complete model info. Basic pricing is shown, but without model, manufacturer, etc
Here is the web site of the place I toured. With the rise in lumber, I imagine the prices have increased. www.recreationalresortcottages.com/
