What is a Park Model? Park Models are recreation
vehicles primarily designed as temporary living quarters for
recreation, camping or seasonal use. They are built on a single
chassis, mounted on wheels and have a gross trailer area not
exceeding 400 square feet in the set-up mode.
Each Park Trailer is certified by the RPTIA member manufacturer
as complying with ANSI A119.5. Two different types of Park
Trailers are offered. One type is less than 8' 6" in
width and is designed for frequent travel on the highways
while the other and more popular type is wider than 8' 6"
(usually 12' in width), and must be transported with special
movement permits from the state highway department. The 8'
6" unit typically is expandable when it reaches its destination
utilizing slide-outs or tip-outs. The wider units, being less
mobile, are usually sited in a resort or RV park location
for an extended term, typically several years. |
