			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have a wooded property you’d love to have a log cabin sitting on? Are you worried about trying to build a traditional log cabin on your property?</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/" target=_blank >log cabin park model</a> is a simple structure one can call home without minimizing or losing comfort and space. Although the space is reduced compared to that of either a manufactured home or a conventional home it offers breathing room in which one can move about without feeling constricted or limited. </p>
<p>The exterior is typically rustic log (hence the name) or cedar for that traditional woodsy appeal flared by a modern rural appearance. The construction, manufactured by expert craftsmen, is environmentally sound and features fiberglass insulation heat ducts, vinyl insulated windows and Fiber-Cement Siding for security. Inside design yields to custom preference but allows many options, from lofts to extended closed-in porch space. Imagine sitting on your log cabin Park Model home’s front porch, looking out into the wooded forest in front of you!</p>
<p>The most attractive consideration of the log Park Model, as with any Park Model home, is the affordable price. Prices for these homes generally start at around $20,000. Because this type of home is inexpensive and no building permit is required a manufacturing home loan is easier to obtain than would be for any of the larger, traditional homes. This makes it a great option for those who don’t think they can afford to build a log cabin on their property but still have the dream of owning one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s pre-fab homes are nothing like the trailer park models of the 60s and 70s. In fact, today’s models are contemporary and adequate for any chic family or single.  Park Model Homes offers a multitude of home options if you’re in the market for an upscale manufactured home. Some of their most popular contemporary pre-fab homes include those in the following plan groups.  </p>
<p>Manor Plans From Park Models: Ideal for vacationing all over the country, Manor styles of <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/news-information/" target=_blank >Park model homes</a> are traditional in style while offering contemporary aspects as well. Upgraded amenities include modern side bay areas, making them a great choice for many buyers.</p>
<p>Royal Plans From Park Models: With side bay areas, back bay options, loft capabilities and many kitchen shape options, the Royal Plans are contemporary pre-fab homes at their best.</p>
<p>Estate Plans From Park Models: Park Model homes in the Estate Plans automatically include many upgrades in their base price. Most of the Park Model Estate styles are created with larger windows, raised wood cabinets, built ins, pocket doors, ceramic backsplashes and upgraded siding.</p>
<p>Contemporary pre-fab homes now come with much more than the original mobile homes came with. They are fit for people with any style and tastes, with designs making them look more like traditional homes than trailers. They can be placed beautifully in the country, by the beach, in a wooded area or even in your larger backyards. They are perfect for primary residences, vacation homes, mother in law suites and more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any homeowner craves the little bit of something extra which turns a house into a home, and makes life worth living within it. With Park Model appliance options, there are various opportunities for luxury and comfort that ensure a continuous satisfaction homeowners have with their choice. </p>
<p>Take for example ranges and stoves which come standard as Park Model appliance options. Upgrades are available which allow for stainless steel self cleaning models, gas ranges or electric ranges and other little extras.</p>
<p>Refrigerators also provide for some Park Model appliance options and such vary in size. Dishwashers come in stainless steel or in regular exteriors and complement your choice of kitchen appliances. Most microwaves are space savers which capitalize on the room above the stove. </p>
<p>Stackable washers and dryers are perhaps the most sought after Park Model appliance options and orders for them are more plentiful than paddle fans. There is no doubt these kitchen and bedroom appliances go a long ways to personalizing a home.</p>
<p>Smaller Park Model appliance options include chandeliers which make the dining area appear more formal, ceiling lights for the bedrooms, recessed can lights, programmable thermostats and recessed fluorescent lighting. With this many unique features which may be added or omitted, it is true <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/" target=_blank >park model homes</a> are entirely customizable. </p>
<p>At the same time, a carefully chosen initial setup prevents the need for future upgrades. Even if at the onset you do not see the need for all the little luxuries, there is the option to pre-wire for future use. Who knows, a few months down the line you might decide to add the stackable washer and dryer after all.</p>

<p>The economy is in poor shape and the majority of us are feeling its pain. When it comes to finding a space like above it is often difficult to find the physical appeal that we desire at an affordable price. This does not always have to be the case with a two-story Park model home. </p>
<p>These models are smaller and more affordable than most manufactured home. They offer the two-story design and several floor plans that suit many homebuyers. These spaces are intended to be used as vacation homes, seasonal housing or guest homes. </p>

<p>The quality and charm are present in these homes and they come at a price that suits today’s budget. So if you are looking for a two bedroom, two-bathroom home with a spacious living room and kitchen you may want to consider a <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/news-information/" target=_blank >two-story park model home</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cost of renting a cabin or other rental property can be an unaffordable hassle, yet many people pay these fees year in and year out for vacation getaways. Why pay so much and get so little time in the space when you can pay a small fee for a <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/news-information/" target=_blank >park model manufactured home</a> instead? </p>
<p>These homes are smaller than the average manufactured home creating an affordable and suitable space for seasonal vacations, college students or in laws. Placing one of these homes on a small area of property makes the perfect retreat. </p>
<p>There are several floor plans from one-bedroom/bathroom models to two bedroom models with a loft for added space. You have the option of an electric fireplace, patio and all of this includes AC/heat, ceiling fans and elegant décor if preferred. </p>
<p>Some models and floor plans offer upscale amenities, built in pocket doors and even spacious kitchens. The motto is “affordable luxury”.  You can view numerous floor plans and styles online, each with a blue print inspired layout as well as color photos of many of the models.  Floor plans are listed by name such as the manor, royal, estate or cabin. </p>
<p>Each floor plan offers it’s own style which matches the space to it’s resident. The cabin floor plan provides a rustic, woodsy charm. Cedar wood panels and cabinetry are throughout the interior, while log siding sets the scene on the outside of this model. This is definitely a charming woodland retreat. No matter your style or use of this space there is something for everyone and an affordable price that is just as pleasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Park Models are venturing into a new area of trailers with their cabin floor plans. With the rustic look hotter than ever before, <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/" target=_blank >park model homes</a> are taking advantage.

<p>It offers an additional loft area upstairs!  The loft is a great option for families who want to use the home for vacation purposes. Perhaps they own some wooded property and would love to have Park Models cabin options.</p>
<p>The beauty of the a <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/category/style/" target=_blank >park model cabin</a> floor plan doesn’t stop with the additions, like the loft option. Many of them also offer beautiful front porches, perfect for enjoying the scenery around the home.

<p>Park Models offers their cabin floor plans with the same guarantee as their other homes. They are made with quality materials and are fully inspected before leaving the manufacturer. They are beautiful inside and out and offer an affordable way for anyone to own their own home. </p>

With models starting at only $20,000 each, there are options for any budget. A Park Models cabin floor plan may be just the thing you need to add flair to your farm property, wooded property or lakefront property!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While those who retired ten years ago dreamed of traveling the country in a motorhome upon retiring, today’s baby boomers are a bit different. To be honest, RV travel is much more expensive than ever before. With rising gas prices and maintenance fees, more and more retirees are looking for permanent vacation homes away from home.</p>
<p>Baby boomers are finding they can affordably purchase a vacation home via Park Model homes. Park Model homes offer a beautiful way to enjoy your favorite location. For example, if you find yourself spending thousands of dollars each year on beach hotel stays at your favorite beach, it may be more beneficial to <a href="http://www.jandmhomes.com" rel="nofollow"   class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="J &#038; M"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://www.parkmodellife.com/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">buy a Park Model</a> home in that area. You can save money and make a wise investment for your future!</p>
<p>A Park Model home can be built anywhere. If you love the mountains, hills, the lake or a ranch, a Park Home can provide comfortable housing. In addition, Park Homes are made of quality raw materials and are built with luxury in mind. With open layouts, these trailers are much roomier than one might initially think.</p>
<p>In addition to being affordable and charming, Park model homes are extremely easy to maintain. The homes require very little cleaning, since there is not an excess of unneeded space. After all, when you’re on vacation the last thing you want to do is clean! Thus, Park Model vacation homes offer you a place to happily retreat when you can steal time away from your busy life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing to purchase a Park Model home is an exciting decision! However, finding a local manufacturer can be a challenge. While Park Homes are sold all around the world, the best manufacturers may not be as close as you’d like them to be. Three of the most popular Park Model home makers are Chariot, Dutch and Fairmont.</p>
<p>Chariot Park Model Homes has two locations in both Ocala, Florida and in Phoenix, Arizona. These locations produce more holiday and vacation park homes than most other areas in the country. The company is growing at rapid speeds and was awarded for their success by Inc Magazine. For the past 15 years, Chariot has been in one of the top two sales slots for Park Model Homes.</p>
<p>Located in Indiana, Dutch Park Homes is another popular manufacturer. They specialize in excellent customer service, timely construction and superior craftsmanship. They have over 10 years of experience in building homes and it shows throughout their work.</p>
<p>Fairmont Park has been building homes for over 35 years, throughout America. They have been recognized by the National Associate of Home Builders Research Center and the State of Indiana Governors’ Office for quality builds.</p>
<p>All three of these manufacturers are wonderful places to tour and find a Park Model home perfect for you and your family. Each offers something unique to their customers. However, all Park Home manufacturers offer the same quality service and construction to everyone they work with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re looking for a charming Park Model cabin floor plan, look no further than Metloius model. This adorable floor plan is so versatile it even offers an innovative upstairs loft area!</p>
<p>The Metloius loft area is ideal for retirees who want to have the occasional family guest. In addition, families often find it appealing for their guest homes because it allows the children extra room to play games and relax. The loft offers additional sleeping space and makes the home feel as if it has two bedrooms. When guests are not in town, homeowners can choose to create a lounge area for their enjoyment.</p>
<p>Looking over other areas of the home, the addition of the loft really opens up this floor plan. It creates a visual aspect that makes the home appear much larger than it actually is. So, homeowners get the illusion of more space without having more space to clean! After all, no one wants to spend their vacationing time cleaning a large home. Instead, it’s best to use your vacation time to relax and enjoy the area you’re located within!</p>
<p>All Park Model cabins are built with quality raw materials. They are quickly and easily moved and constructed. While they are convenient and excellently constructed, they are still quite affordable. With many Park Model cabins starting at only $20,000 each there are options for any budget. Those interested in having their own log cabin should certainly consider a Park Model cabin floor plan for their property.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s no argument Park Model home designs offer a spacious feel to a small space. Homeowners looking for a vacation home, hunting lodge or their first home can get what they desire for as little as $20,000. Not only are the new Park Model designs affordable, they’re also quite luxurious!</p>
<p>One terrific option the new Park Model designs offer is a loft area. Who would have ever thought a loft area could be functional and beautifully added to a small mobile home? Without question however, the loft areas in the new Park Model homes are to be admired. Allowing families extra space for children or for overnight guests, these areas are luxurious and beautiful. The design calls for the loft to overlook the living area, giving the entire downstairs living area a two story ceiling appearance.</p>
<p>Other options include solid oak cabinets, custom built cabinetry, thermal windows and side by side refrigerators. Rustic log home options are also available, allowing customers to choose homes that look like bona fide log cabins in the woods. Fireplaces and furniture packages are more options the new Park Model designs can include, should the buyer desire.</p>
<p>Most mobile homes can be built with cheap front porches added. However, the new Park Model designs include stylish front porches that make any home in the woods complete. Porches are large enough for the entire family and are built to last!</p>
<p>The new Park Model designs were created with style and luxury in mind. Thus, those looking for a small mobile home can easily get the class they desire without paying a high price.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Utah residents already are ahead of the curve when it comes to picking the perfect <a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/news-information/" target="_blank">park model home</a>.</p>
<p>A tightening economy and the soaring cost of gasoline have made RV travel all but impossible. Retirees and travelers are now looking for cost effective ways to spend their times in the beauteous states. Many are also finding that with a park model, it&#8217;s even easier to qualify for a <a href="http://www.colonialhomeloan.com" rel="nofollow" >manufactured home loan</a>.</p>
<p>Since these are premier retirement states, it is not at all surprising the senior population (that grew up in a time when money was tight and when true value was the prerequisite for a sales transaction) would gravitate toward choosing wisely when it comes to setting up their housing needs for retirement.<a href="http://www.parkmodellife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/parkmodel19a.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-31" style="margin: 5px;" title="Park Model Home 19a Image" src="http://www.parkmodellife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/parkmodel19a-300x225.jpg" alt="Park Model Home Retirement Living" width="270" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>It is only recently that California, Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Washington and Montana have come in on the mix. Since these are predominantly vacation states, travelers have spent less time and money on the actual semi-permanent accommodations and much more on hotels, recreational vehicle travel and sightseeing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.colonialhomeloan.com/" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank">Park model homes</a> are there for a fraction of the cost a recreational vehicle might command. When compared to the competition, they stand heads, shoulders and torso above the rest!</p>
<p>Perhaps the best way to understand why a park model home beats the competition is to actually visit one. The first thing you are surprised to see is the clever layout that makes multi-functional use an easily attained goal.</p>
<p>At the same time, each item is crafted with care and high quality raw materials. Even though these homes are factory built, corners are not cut – ever. Choosing wisely was never so easy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The manufacturers of park model homes are proud of accomplishing a feat rare in the industry: combining state of the art manufacturing with an innovative design that makes the finished product safe, inexpensive for a majority of consumers, and practical for a plethora of applications. Park model home manufacturers are members of the Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association (RPTIA) and as such are on the cutting edge of pioneering better, more cost effective and saver methods of crafting their buildings.</p>
<p>Yet what sets the manufacturers of park model homes from the competition is their refusal to cut corners and become satisfied with a job done well. Instead, they strive for the continual wow-factor that leaves consumers highly enthusiastic about the product and service, while at the same time offering the kind of product that is still sufficiently affordable to attract a large clientèle.</p>
<p>Perhaps not surprisingly, they rely not only on the actual manufacturing process to accomplish this goal but also on housing consultants who are part and parcel of the design and execution process with respect to the drafting of new blueprints and then seeing that the finished product indeed meets up with their expectations as well as their safety standards.</p>
<p>Across the country, consumers appreciate this approach which differentiates this manufacturer from those that will opt for more of a cookie cutter approach to doing business, and thus the prosperity of park model homes manufacturers is easily explained. Just one glance at the product catalog reveals an amazing array of styles and floor plans that will attract even the most discerning consumer.</p>
