Park Model Construction FAQs
Our Park Models are well insulated to protect you from all weather in all seasons. All Park Models floors are spray foamed, and the walls are either spray foamed with 2 ½” of spray foam or insulated with rockwool batts. Our insulation techniques help ensure that you will be able to relax comfortably in our Park Models no matter the outdoor conditions for years to come. See models for more specific insulation information.
No. Our Park Models do not have holding tanks. However, they are suited with a water inlet and sewer connection, as well as at least a 19-gallon water heater (larger depending on the model).
Our largest Zook Cabin Park Models are 400 sq. ft. This is often the maximum legal size for a Park Model.
The best flooring for a Park Model Home is either engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank. Our Park Model Homes use either one of these, depending on the model you choose. Our floors are usually constructed with 2-6 joists, closed-cell spray foam insulation, ¾” OSB subfloor, and engineered hardwood or vinyl planking on top.
Our Zook Cabin Park Model Homes are not customizable when ordered as a single unit. However, we have11 different models of widely varying styles, from log cabin to contemporary.
*If you want to purchase 10 or more park-model homes, we would be willing to create a custom floor plan for your park model project.
The life expectancy of one of our Park Models is about 30-50 years. This time could vary greatly depending on the location, upkeep methods, and usage. See Park Model Maintenance for more details on caring for Park Models.
The main difference between our luxury mobile homes and our Park Model homes is that our Park Model homes are RVIA-certified, and luxury mobile homes are HUD-certified.
Legally, park model homes must remain attached to their trailer bases and wheels. They are considered an RV and must be permitted, licensed, and insured as such. Park Model Homes are often smaller than mobile homes, and their convenient trailer mount makes them much easier to transport and maintain.
Mobile Homes are larger and are installed on blocks, beams, crawlspace/basements, or other permanent foundations. Park Models may also be set on and leveled with blocks but must remain attached to their wheels.
One important thing to note is that the two building styles’ legal requirements for taxes, occupancy time, and location vary. Make sure to check your local zoning laws to ensure that you have the proper information you need.
