Back in the early 90s my buddy bought a mobile home for $300 but it had to be moved we actually moved it with a tractor and a slow-moving vehicle sign we did not pull permits because we were in a rule unincorporated area we threw a slow-moving vehicle sign on the back and towed it right to the middle of town you know what the cops didn't f*** with us it took his 12 hours to pull it from a lot move it 3 miles and get it set in its new spot of course I'm hooking the skirting and plumbing and getting it ready to move took another day in itself and getting it level than set and everything plumbed back up and all the skirting on took a couple of more days but we got it all moved in 12 hours not having any idea what we were doing just being dumb 20-something year olds with a plan
And you would be surprised of the resale value of a used mobile home we work for a new and used mobile home lot. They will get 15-20k for like a 15 year old double wide
We moved ours a year ago, did all prep myself except unblocking and blocking. Its an impressive site seeing a 16x80 rolling down the highway. I was in lead so they could follow and I had to keep people from creeping up on them when they were making corners. People really don't care and have no clue what the home would do to their vehicles if it clipped them. There is probably 15 tons rolling down the road.
Well said. The weight-to-stopping ratio comes to mind every time a spring breaker tourist wonders from the strip on their 25mph rental scooter and pulls out in front of me on the highway. People need to be more aware of their surroundings in general.
People are very dumb when it comes to driving around bigger vehicles, passing in the wrong spot/ on curves hills etc slamming on brakes in front etc ..... boggles my mind
After all that hard work... Considering my future life style, I think I'll stick with an RV. At the very least I don't think I'll have to pay any giant fees for moving it to a different place. I don't think they'll be able to move it easily into a forest somewhere
EVERYTIME I see a mobile home being moved I yell “ Somebody’s blessing is going home!” 😂I stay in a mobile home park and I’ve watched them do it. It’s amazing too! They are quick and everyone has a job to do. I’ve left and come back in two hours and the home is gone, if they are moving out. I smile when I pass by to see a family moving in waiting on skirting to be installed. This will be me in 4 years moving to land. I’ll be sweating bullets lol 😂.
Will be dealing with the same thing soon...not as new of a manufactured home but saw tons of new ones and hated the floor plans, the one I found is perfect makes more sense to move it than find another
I love my house, it's an older model. I live at a trailer park and it's annoying to pay lot fees. I want to buy land and move it. I don't like the newer models. The cost of moving is much cheaper than getting a new trailer. But if I had to do it again I'd get an RV.
What's it like to have a mobile home moved I can tell you exactly what it's like it's nerve-wracking and you hear constant sucking sound coming from your wallet the entire time
@@roryswastika709 mobile home movers usually charge by the mile I have moved them from as far as from Selma Alabama all the way to California and from Williston North Dakota to Camden Louisiana and it's nerve-wracking
Do they supply everything in order to move your mobile home off from it's lot on the ground? And do you have to have a foundation ready with electricity hookup / water / sewage before they deliver it? And how much in total did it cost to get a permit for the electricity and water / sewage hookup?
Tony Kart Racer ...you should have concrete runners on your lot, for the size trailer your moving. Your trailer, should have axles and tongue, underneath. Your mover should supply the tires. As far as utilities.... every state and county, has different codes/laws. Check with your local auditor office on permits and regulations. Your mover, should supply relocation permit, for the trailer to be moved.
Have an experience it's nerve-wracking at best usually . Watching people cut into your home to cut it apart. if it's a big Park move and everyone has to move their hiring Tweakers and everybody to move your home. Then they're taking your crap. You practically have to sit on top of them to make sure that your stuff gets moved and doesn't get stolen if it's involved in park closure if it's older than 10 years it's not worth moving to another Park they won't accept it.If it's pre HUD 1975 or more. It can look like the Taj Mahal and you haven't fixed all up cute but it doesn't matter it's pre 1975. If you do get some part to allow it the next time you go to sell it you won't be able to sell it. Because the parks want 10 or less.
good job man... in my hometown its gonna be 7 days work because they have no idea whats they wanna do first and because they have to sip a coffee every goddamn 5 minutes hahahah
It's a frigging nightmare!! We purchased a new deer valley home. Signed, sealed still not delivered 3 months later. Ath the last minute the home center and the set-up guy decided they can't get our home into our land. Too much slope to the road to access the property. They need a piece of equipment called a jadde 2000. No one around here owns this equipment.
you did good filming this, Does the Mobile home mover do everything like removing the skirting and/or porch? or do you have to hire someone else to remove the extra stuff, and the mover just has to move the mobile home to your place?
KITT28 Thank you, half credit to my wife! Our movers did the removal and resetting of the skirting. Actually, they installed new skirting because the home sits higher in the new location. They did pretty much everything except utility hookups.
@@GuitarAudiologist Sorry, half Credit go toward the wife, and thank you sir for answering my question, i have 1 ac and trying to figure out info about getting a mobile home there.
Seems kinda funny to put an oversize load sign on a house driving down the street. If someone couldn't figure that out just by looking at the HOUSE, then I don't think the sign is gonna make a difference lol
lmfao true but i live in louisiana we cant drive also i might add i live in New Orleans and also they are drunk lol they might actaully hit it here lmfao
I live in Jaxville and in a mobile home community. I'd never want to move....but I have great respect for those men who move them. Id worry the wheels would pop sitting so long!
They charged us about $3000 to move it 25 miles. Prepping the new lot and getting all the permits and through legal hurdles was a whole other expensive battle, but that might just be my area.
im from ocala fl and got a lot with septic and well here how much it cost me to move the single wide mobile home $350 permit paper work $1,400 impact fee (lot never had a MH before) $600 transport $2,400 set up $2,200 power pole ,hool ups (drain,water and electricity to the mobile home) $800 on materials to build 2 stairs and the skirting did it myself you can save the impact fee the lot had mobile home before you can also save on the permits paper work but is time intensive and complicated
I'm about to move a mobile home soon. What siz of lug nuts are needed to get the tires back on? This is literally the only thing holding me back at this moment
Not sure about that man. I hired a company to do mine. If you're trying to do it yourself, maybe use some calipers to measure the lug and buy a few different bolts from the hardware store and hope one works? Good luck.
daisy hernandez Depends how old it is and the condition. I got my 1982 18x80 for $5k. Has some not so modern features, but I’ve been fixing mine up. Painting, all new flooring, new fixtures, new vanities, new lighting, new faucets, cabinets, tile backsplashes. Everything new! Have to be careful with window units though. I live in Texas where it’s flipping HOT! So my electric bill runs about $260 in the summer time on 4 a/c window units.
You need a solid plot of ground to put one on. Never seen someone try to put one on top of a basement. Basically, you need to contact your local code office, and they will tell you all the things you can and can't do with a given property.
Most movers charge a flat rate if it's within 50 miles or so if it a long haul they usually charge by the mile charge for permits just check with local movers
@@GuitarAudiologist that's probably it. $15,000 to go from a raw lot to a fully installed home sounds about right. That plus say $20,000 for an acre of land (obviously varies vastly by area), $45,000 for a brand new 13'-45' and another $10,000 for a nice shop and you've got the American dream for a total of $90,000 before furnishing and all. I can't understand why more people don't go that route.
corvetteguy1980 The moving company had their own wheels they used to move it. After that they set it up on blocks, detached the tongue and put it underneath, and took their wheels with them.
at 1:50 the guy on the roof does he hop onto other trailerhouse next to the one being moved !? my parents have a trailer house its actually really nice inside its a refurbished bank repo it was delivered around 100 miles away it sits on 30 acres
Hi there, I have a 1991, doublewide, wind zone 2, mobile home and i want to relocate it some 250 miles away from where it is now, any suggestions?? thanks
I'm no expert, but I would suggest you look into the codes of where you are trying to move. In my area, they wouldn't allow anything made before 2010 to move in (or that didn't have a certain roof angle/structure.) Code is all they care about, and they all vary in different areas. Hope this helps!
True driving skills, respect.
Let us not forget the spotters. Without them that home is going nowhere quick, fast, or in a hurry.

Its a very tough job
@@andrewdaily7343 very expensive and moving probably depreciates on top depreciation from owning a mobile home
