Where can I live in a park model RV?
The Short Answer
You can place a park model at an RV resort, a campground that offers seasonal or year-round sites, a park model community, or on private land where local zoning allows it. Each option comes with its own rules on how long you can stay, so confirm occupancy limits before you buy.
Your Main Options
- Campgrounds with seasonal sites: The most common choice in Maine. You lease a site for the season and leave your unit in place. Many close for the winter.
- RV resorts and park model communities: Often offer longer leases, more amenities, and in some cases year-round use. Some set rules on unit age, size, or appearance.
- Private land: Your own lot, family land, or a camp property. Zoning, permits, and septic requirements decide what is allowed.
- Rental property: Some landowners and campgrounds place park models as rental cabins, which can be an income opportunity.
What to Check Before You Pick a Spot
- How long the unit can be occupied each year, and whether full-time residence is allowed.
- Whether the site has water, sewer or septic, and electric suited to a park model.
- Access for the delivery truck, including road width, turns, trees, and slope.
- Rules on decks, porches, sheds, and skirting.
- Whether the site allows renting out your unit, if that is part of your plan.
Choosing the Right Unit for Your Site
Site rules can affect which park model you buy. Some campgrounds cap length or require certain exterior styles, and a tight wooded lot may rule out the largest floorplans. Bring your site details when you shop with us, and we will help you find a unit that fits.
