Sometimes referred to as a park home, trailer, trailer home, house trailer, caravan, static caravan, residential caravan, RV, or motorhome, a mobile home is a structure that undergoes prefabrication. Meaning that ahead of being transported to the site it will reside on, it is built within a factory or similar facility. These living spaces are also situated on a permanently attached base. They can function as permanent homes for residents, or be used as a holiday or temporary destination. Often remaining in one location on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, they can be moved depending on the needs of the user.
History
This type of living space evolved from the travel trailer, which is commonly brought along when camping or extended travel takes place, plus is designed as a relatively small unit with permanent wheels attached. Mobility was the initial focal point for a mobile home, followed by a shift to highlighting the lower cost associated with this housing style. These homes were eventually given a rectangular shape, and pre-painted metal panels make up some of the components.
Modular Home Comparison
The process of manufacturing is similar between mobile homes and modular homes, although certain differences exist when comparing the two. Flatbed trucks are used to transport the latter, instead of towing services, and they do not possess axles or an automotive-like frame. Depending on the case, a modular home can be towed behind the appropriate truck, but it is usually divided into two pieces and is transported by more than one truck.
