A Park Model is a type of RV designed to be setup at an RV lot
or campsite for an extended period of time.
With the cost of recreational homes rising, many people are turning
to Park Model RVs and "destination camping" as a less
expensive alternative for fulfilling their recreational needs. Destination
camping is camping where you leave your trailer or park home at
one location, and keep returning to it. Traveling to your trailer
RV rather than traveling with it.
If you love the mountains, lakes, or the sea, park model homes offer
you all the comforts and convenience of home at any location you choose.
A park model is really somewhere in between mobile or manufactured
homes and RVs. The major technical difference between a park model
RV trailer and a regular RV is that the park model lacks holding
tanks. It is meant to be placed on a site with the necessary hookups.
There are essentially 2 types of park model homes. One has the feel
of a conventional travel trailer, complete with fiberglass or metal
siding, etc.
The other is constructed in almost the same way as upscale manufactured
homes, complete with exterior siding, composite roof shingles, sheetrock,
etc.
