Mobile Cabins

Where does the idea of mobile cabins come from? Do you know? 

It first started with traveling showman wagons. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, traveling showmen and circus performers used wagons or caravans as their living quarters while touring. These wagons were designed to be transportable and provided basic accommodations for their occupants.

Although most people didn’t want to make their permanent homes in these wagons, it proved to the world that the idea of having a mobile lifestyle was possible. And when automobiles became more common in the 1920’s the idea started to gain momentum. 

By the 1930’s the RV industry was underway so people could travel and live comfortably at the same time. 

Today, we travel more than ever. And while the mobile cabins that Lancaster Log Cabins build don’t work great as pull behind RV’s they are perfect for people that live a mobile lifestyle. Let’s explore exactly how these mobile cabins can benefit you! 

• Affordability: Mobile cabins are generally more affordable compared to traditional stick-built houses. They provide an opportunity for homeownership at a lower cost, making them an attractive option for individuals or families on a tight budget.

If you are fresh out of college, trying to get on your feet with a young family, or looking for a vacation spot you can afford, these are the perfect option for getting started. 

• Flexibility and Mobility: One of the significant advantages of mobile cabins is their ability to be relocated easily. Whether you want to explore different areas, move closer to work or family, or simply change your surroundings, mobile homes offer the flexibility to move without the need for selling or buying a new property.
• Lower Maintenance: Mobile cabins generally require less maintenance compared to larger traditional houses. With a smaller footprint and simplified systems, upkeep and repairs can be more manageable and cost-effective. This is particularly true with the solid log construction used with Lancaster Log Cabins. In fact, with just a little maintenance our mobile cabins lat for 50+ years. 
• Quick Installation: Our mobile cabins are manufactured off-site, which means they arrive at your site or property completely assembled and ready to use. It’s literally just a matter of hooking up the utilities and you are ready to go! 

So, if you have a dream lot of land, but can’t afford a custom house, go for a mobile cabin! Or, if you know you’ll be the kind of person that enjoys relocating every several years, there couldn’t be a better option. 

And, like we’ve explored, there are plenty of other benefits beyond the flexibility!
