AMA - RV's in a Mobile Home Park

Today is another AMA episode (ask Me Anything). Today’s question comes from Carl in Austin.

I’m looking at a mobile home park with quite a bit of vacancy and am wondering if its possible to put RV’s on those spaces. What are some of the considerations that I should be aware of?

Carl, this is a great question. First of all, I’d like to address why I might be qualified to answer your question. I happen to own an RV Park that is currently about 50% RV’s and 50% mobile homes.

In order to answer your question, there are two things you will need to consider.

1) Is what you are proposing allowed in the zoning for the property?

2) What upgrades will be required in order to physically accomplish what you’re proposing?.
