Tips on Moving Single Wide Mobile Homes

There are various costs associated with moving a mobile home from one mobile home park to another.  A single wide mobile home is easier to move than a double wide, but be sure to follow some guidelines as you prepare for the move.

• Check that the mobile home can be moved to your desired destination.  You must abide by the laws and regulations of the state where the mobile home currently resides, the state where you are moving the mobile home to and any states in between.


• Ensure that the mobile home is in good enough condition to be moved.  Whether you’ll be moving the mobile home yourself or using the services of a mobile home mover, you want to make sure that the structure can withstand the forces involved in moving it.  A mobile home mover will have to dismantle the mobile home before moving it and setting it up in its new location.  It will cost more if you need to have some remodeling done on your mobile home before it gets set up again.


• Get a quote if you are using a mobile home moving service.  You'll want to get a few estimates from different companies and compare their quotations.  The size of the quote should depend upon the amount of work that is required to disassemble your single wide mobile home and also the distance that your mobile home has to travel.  If your mobile home is to be moved within state, then this should dramatically reduce your cost.
