A recreational dwelling designed for seasonal or temporary living, built on a single chassis and mounted on wheels, is often found in campgrounds or recreational vehicle parks. These units, though transportable, are primarily designed to be connected to utilities and remain in one location for extended periods. They are regulated differently than traditional manufactured homes, generally falling under RV or park model classifications due to their size and intended use.
This type of dwelling offers a more spacious and comfortable alternative to traditional recreational vehicles while still providing a cost-effective housing option, particularly for vacationing or seasonal residents. Their increasing popularity is due to factors like affordability, reduced property taxes in some locations, and the opportunity to own a dwelling in desirable recreational areas. Historically, these structures have evolved from basic mobile homes to increasingly sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing living spaces.
