Park Model Life

Have you ever tried to level a recreation vehicle? If so, the odds are good you know all about the frustrating experience you can have when there is a slight slope, rocks are suddenly cropping up everywhere underneath your RV, or if the soil is not as firmly packed as perhaps you were led to believe by the appearance of the area.

Conversely, leveling a mobile home is a study in frustration! Even after you have sought to check the leveling with the infamous marble test you will find that in at least one area of the mobile home there is a decided feeling of pull.

Leveling a park model home is a different kind of experience. It is still required to do the basic site prep work and setup: remove big rocks, tamp down the ground as good as possible and maneuvering it closely enough to all the utility hookups.

Unlike recreational vehicles, the width of the park model home is evenly distributed between the support structures of the home. Thus there is no swaying and potential for soil movement due to the uneven use of multiple slide outs.

Additionally, because the weight distribution has been calculated scientifically (rather than leaving it to the skill of the consumer) to make sure there is not too much weight placed in one corner area over another, the entire structure is completely usable from day one.

Since many areas are now experiencing changing climate patterns including unscheduled rainfalls, struggling with a site that suddenly turns muddy is no longer a dangerous undertaking. Instead, the safe sharing of the weight actually assists in the preservation of the site and safeguards its integrity.

This once again showcases why leveling a park model home is a task undertaken once – not numerous times.
