Has anyone ever moved a double wide mobile home?

Thinking of picking one up but not sure what the transporting (maybe 50 miles) and other fees would be.

1. Depending on how you set it up either on cinderblocks with or without skirting or on a permanent foundation, the cost can vary. Transportation is only part of the deal. Much of the cost is incurred when the home is leveled, hooked up to utilities, and tied together to form a unit, and otherwise turned from a couple of shells into a house.

Reputable mobile moving companies are well versed in all these things and you tend to get what you pay for.

The best bet is to call around for estimates.

2. Thank you. I can get the mobile home at a real good price and can pay cash for it but was kind of curious about the transporting and set up . Was thinking about getting it and moving it to town in a mobile home park for my Daughters. Gas going into town for school is a killer, and have the last one starting this fall.

3. If you have any choice in the matter... avoid parks. 

If you can put it on land, it's a better option. If you must use a park, look for one that is a co-op, not a space rental option. Also be aware that a lot of parks won't take a move-in that's over 10 years old.

Park management ranges from adequate to horrific. A mobile in a park is effectively a captive audience; it's very hard to move one out in 30 days if they terminate a lease (and some parks have been known to do so, and occasionally for little reason -- we have that sitch in my town right now.)

Research them carefully.

4. i will look into that. The mobile home is about 6 years old. I was just thinking the space lease would certainly be cheaper than gas to go back and forth to town for the girls.

Uh, who's going to supervise the teenaged girls in town, though?

They have hormones, remember.

A double wide might often result in having to pay rent on two lots. It might be cheaper to get the girls an apartment.

All types of permits and stuff are needed for moving wide loads, I'm sure it wont sound like such a good deal once they do the math.

afterdawn.com is a good place for tutorials on video and music, but not such a good place to link to pictures from. :-)

You can snatch the link out of the message code.

That actually looks like a fun place for college students to live, though that top unit better have some counterweight in the back end.  :uhsure:

Once the girls are situated in their trailer park, the DUmmy should drag a hundred-dollar bill through it to see what he can find.
