Park Model FAQs

A park model cabin (also known as a park model RV or park model home) is a cabin on wheels. It is 400 square feet or less and meets the RV Industry Association’s codes for park model RVs.

Most other park models are built just like a mobile home - with materials that are subpar and won’t last in the long run. On the other hand, Lancaster Log Cabins’ park model cabins are built just like a real log home with real log timber walls, solid wood floors, doors, and cabinets. Quality and durability are our #1 priority.

Since we try to minimize our lead time, we like to keep our cabin layouts standard (unless you plan on purchasing multiple units). We do offer several small design customizations or add-ons with our cabins, but the layout in most cases must stay the same.

Since our park-model cabins are classified as Park Model RVs, they are technically just intended for recreational use. Some townships may have issues with one being used as a full-time residence. But, with our cabins' high-quality design, they can be used year-round.

The driveway must be solid with stone or pavement, around 20’ wide in clearance, and 15’ high. You would need much more width clearance for driveways with turns. The pad could be a stone or concrete. For a stone pad, the topsoil needs to be removed, and it must be rolled.

Most types do not. However, a Lancaster Log Cabin park model cabin holds its value extremely well. This is because they hold up so well over time and because there’s such a high demand for them.

All of our water lines are run on the inside, so as long as you keep your heat on low, they shouldn’t freeze. You still need to wrap your water connection (and any other spot where the water lines are outside of the cabin) in heat tape. If you prefer to winterize your cabin, it can be done easily. The process is very similar to winterizing an RV in that you would just drain the water heater and blow out the lines.

We need to set up a delivery since our cabins are all oversized loads and require oversized permits and escorts. This means that distance and cabin size will affect delivery costs. Once we know the delivery location, we can provide a freight quote.

Our cabins are built to withstand very harsh winters. The solid log walls, well-insulated roofs and floors, air-tight design, and indoor water lines mean our cabins do great in colder climates.
