How to Move your Mobile Home: Directions and Point of Placement

DIRECTIONS AND POINT OF PLACEMENT Although we are going to discuss how to install your home in a couple chapters, it is still important that you have a handle on several items before you home pulls out.

• You need very solid directions for the driver.  You can’t just give him a city or street name; he needs the full address and lot number (if applicable).  That way he can plan the correct route.  Homes often end up at the wrong lot due to poor customer directions.
• Make sure that the lot you are going to has been prepared before you arrive.  Preparation should include drainage and removal of obstructing trees and vegetation, as well as installation of necessary utility connection access (set a power pole, etc.)
• You have a rough idea of where you want the home placed on the site, and in what direction (which end goes where).

Once you have these issues resolved, it is time to focus on selecting a mobile home transporter.
