RECREATIONAL LIVING

• Clear Regulatory Classification: HUD’s rules clarify that park model RVs are defined and exempted as recreational vehicles rather than manufactured homes, which provides certainty for owners, dealers, and parks about where these units can be sited and how they are treated under the law.
• Designed for Recreational Use: As RV-classified units built to ANSI or NFPA consensus standards, HUD Park Model RVs are engineered for temporary and seasonal living, making them ideal for vacations, weekend getaways, or extended stays in resort and campground settings.
• Mobility & Flexibility: Because they remain classified as RVs and are built on a towable chassis, HUD Park Model RVs offer relocatable living space that can be moved to different sites, unlike permanent manufactured homes.
• Simplified Siting in RV Parks: The exemption from HUD’s manufactured home standards means many RV parks and campgrounds can accommodate these units easily without additional manufactured housing regulations.
