Mobile Homes Twin Unit – Specification
We build Mobile Homes with the same materials, wall thicknesses, insulation and internal finishes as a normal new-build residential house, whist still conforming to the definition of a Mobile Home / Caravan, making them probably the best quality mobile homes available. These buildings have a lifespan of well over 100years. They’re not like most commercial park homes and static caravans that depreciate and deteriorate at a much quicker rate or the imported log cabins. The walls are 150mm thick, just like a new-build house, and fully insulated.
Our interiors are plaster-boarded and finished like conventional homes, giving the clean, solid interior and modern feel that most commercially manufactured caravans lack.
Our chassis are made of super thick timber beams instead of the metal chassis with wheels that most caravans have, this gives less movement and a greater structural integrity, it feels more solid under the foot, it also allows the building to sit much lower to the base. The tow-bar and wheels are detachable. When finished these mobile homes don’t look any different from a regular building, both inside and out.
