Today we will begin a new article series that explains how one actually moves a mobile home. This series is from a 30 page ebook published by Dave and Frank, so expect a VERY detailed explanation about moving a mobile home.
Don’t let the word “mobile” in mobile home mislead you. While they are transportable, it is anything but easy. This book was designed to help you understand the moving process, give important suggestions on how to have a successful move, tips on saving money and grief in the process, and explain how to successfully put your home back together.
Unlike an RV, which can be easily moved from point A to point B, a mobile home move requires careful planning, professional help, and an understanding of the turn-key process. While the move can be very expensive, even worse can be the cost if you do it poorly. The damages can range from complete loss of the home to poor installation which causes persistent problems over the life of the home.
There are currently, to our knowledge, no other books on how to move a mobile home. That might explain why so many people have no idea what they are doing. You’re the smart one; you bought and are reading the book on the subject. As a result, your move should be a smooth one. A lot of them, unfortunately, end up like disasters because the customer was completely reliant on the transporter or, even worse, tried to transport it themselves.
Mobile homes are moved very rarely. Most mobile homes have only been moved once, when they were brand new, from the factory to where they sit today. It is unlikely that you will move your home very often. So it is important that you take the time to do it right on those rare occasions that you move the home.
Good luck and good reading.
