Your Guide to Park Model RV's
What You Need to Know

Some people argue that park model RVs aren't genuine RVs, but they are indeed mobile, often found at resorts, and constructed to the same standards as other motorhomes and trailers available on the market. The primary difference between park model RVs and traditional RVs is how long they typically stay in one location. Traditional RVs are designed for travel; you disconnect from your hookups, pack your belongings, and set off. In contrast, park model RVs are meant for more permanent residency and lack the mobility of traditional RVs.
Many consider park model RVs to be mobile homes or smaller homes on wheels. This perspective is valid, as numerous park model RVs are equipped with various amenities and can connect to standard city utilities. Large RV resorts often host these park model RVs for snowbirds or individuals who like to stay for extended periods. Others may use them as vacation homes or weekend retreats. You can choose to rent a park model RV either long-term or seasonally, or purchase one outright along with the lot it occupies in an RV park or campground.
Pro Tip: Depending on the type of park model you choose, you may or may not be able to tow it across the country. Most owners typically move their park model RVs only once a year, based on their snowbirding habits.
