| Preparing for your Move: Consider the following before you move: Availability of space at destination,* Whether Mobile Homes are permitted at your new location * Local, County, Municipal and State Regulations concerning mobile homes-- Some states will not accept Oversize Units,Other Require your home to be a specific wind zone built, others have Rigid Electrical Code requirements; *Age of your home: and distance to be transported - it may not be structurally sound enough to withstand the move; *Estimate costs: Your costs to prepare your home for transport, such as getting the body and chassis in a movable condition, including new tires, wheel bearings,springs and other mechanical and structural areas. After considering these factors, if your home does not meet requirements, you may want to consider selling or renting your mobile home rather than transporting it. WHAT YOU CANNOT TRANSPORT IN YOUR MOBILE HOME Again, it is important to remember that your mobile home was designed for movement with factory-installed furniture/equipment only. The more weight added to the "basic" weight, the greater the chances for structural damage. The following items CANNOT be shipped in your mobile home: Hazardous Materials; Gas bottles, Oil Barrels and Similar Materials; Outside central Air Conditioning Window Air Units and/or Heat Pumps Units not part of the Trailer's Manufactured Equipment; Items such as Pianos and Electric Organs; Lawn Mowers; Fragile or Antique furniture; Heavy Freezers; Assembled or Disassembled Garden Sheds, Porches, Swings, Cabanas, Skirting, Fencing and Steps; Flower Boxes/Plants; Full Aquariums; Water Beds ALL WATER BEDS AND AQUARIUMS MUST BE COMPLETELY DRAINED; Yard or Porch Furniture; Outside Television Antenna/Disks; and Heavy Tool Chests. VALUABLES Do not leave valuables, such as Important Documents, Currency, Money, Jewels or Jewelry, Precious Stones, Furs, Bonds, Deeds, Stock Certificates or Securities, Stamp or Coin Collections, Personal or Business Papers, Safes, Guns or any other articles of Extraordinary or Inherent Value. OVERLOADING Overloading during the movement of your home can contribute to problems such as Buckled or Popped Panels, Blown-Out Tires, Broken Axles, Bent Wheels and Warped Frames, and damage to other component parts of the Undercarriage. Charges resulting from overloading can be several thousand dollars, for which you are responsible. Avoid overloading by weeding out possessions no longer of value to you a good rule of thumb is if you haven't used in a year toss it out . Have a yard sale, or donate such items to a charitable organization. If overloading still exists, you may need to rent a u-haul or contract with a household goods mover to have contents shipped in a moving truck with the unit. |
