Our Park Model Cabins are built in accordance to wind zone 2 rating, however, they are not rated as a wind zone. They are listed as a RV and inspected and labeled as such.

Before purchasing your Park Model Cabin, check with your local building inspectors and municipal buildings to see if there are any ordinances that prohibit buildings under a certain size or prolonged living in an RV. Also, check to make sure that there are no wind zone restrictions or codes that would limit your use of your Park Model Cabin.

Park Model Cabins are similar to mobile homes. There is a Grey electrical conduit that leads to the electrical panel for your power connection. There is a 3” and 2” ABS connection for your sewer. The water inlet is just below your Hot water heater.

There is R-11 in the floor protected by a moisture barrier. There is R-13 in the walls with ½” OSB on the outside of that and then wrapped by another moisture barrier, and then R-19 in the ceiling.

It is a product called SmartLap by the LP group. It comes with a 10 year no fade warranty and a 24 year replacement warranty through LP.

Depending on the issue, you would either contact the manufacturer (appliances, AC unit, water heater), the plant (manufacturing issues), or the transportation company (Issues to the outside of the house during transport)

We can customize to a point. Due to production, we limit the amount of customization that you can do in order to keep our production times down. We cannot add walls, move walls, or raise or lower the roof. We can, however, change the wall, cabinet and trim color, remove the loft, or change the size or remove the porch. Most changes are listed as upgrades.

• Park model Homes, although considered recreational vehicles, are transportable and primarily designed for long-term or permanent placement at a destination where an RV or mobile home is allowed. When set up, park models are connected to the utilities necessary to operate home style fixtures and appliances. Park models are popular with people for use as a cottage, vacation or retirement home. • In the United States, park models must remain under 400 square feet (37 m2) to qualify as a recreational vehicle under most federal and state laws. A park model usually has steel tie-down straps for attachment to ground anchors. These are often required to satisfy local zoning and/or mobile home park regulations. • Most park model RV owners locate their home near their primary residence and use them for weekend excursions. Some may place theirs in a warm climate and use seasonal, a temporary escape from the gray dreary bone chilling weather of winter. Other may place them in colder environments to escape the constant heat and humidly found in the southern regions of the U.S. Some find somewhere in between (aka “Tweeners”), up north and down south for that perfect environment that’s not too cold and not too hot but still experiences all 4 seasons for AN ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE. • The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) operates a safety standards and inspection program that requires member manufacturers of all recreation vehicles, including park model RVs, to affix a RVIA standards program seal to every unit they build in their factories. This seal indicates the manufacturer’s certification that the unit complies with the requirements of the applicable standards. A park model RV can always be identified by the blue and gold RVIA ANSI A119.5 certification seal (or its predecessor green RPTIA seal) affixed to the right of main door of the unit. • Although the distinctive appearance of park model RVs may sometimes lead people to think they look like small manufactured homes, appearances can be deceiving. PMRVs are actually titled and registered as other RV’s. Due to their design, small size and use as mostly recreation, vacation and seasonal units, PMRVs are explicitly excluded from being considered or used as a manufactured home under the codes and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) specifically because they are a type of recreation vehicle (Title 24 § 3282.8(g)).

• Simple living encompasses a number of different voluntary practices to simplify one's lifestyle. These may include, for example, reducing one's possessions, generally referred to as minimalism, or increasing self-sufficiency. Simple living may be characterized by individuals being satisfied with what they have rather than want. Although asceticism generally promotes living simply and refraining from luxury and indulgence, not all proponents of simple living are ascetics. Simple living is distinct from those living in forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice, which is commonly known now as the Tiny House Movement. • Adherents may choose simple living for a variety of personal reasons, such as spirituality, health, increase in quality time for family and friends, work–life balance, personal taste, financial sustainability, frugality, or reducing stress. Simple living can also be a reaction to materialism and conspicuous consumption. Some cite socio-political goals aligned with the environmentalist, anti-consumerist or anti-war movements, including conservation, regrowth, social justice, and tax resistance

• There are several options when it comes to locations to park and live in your tiny house. The most common are rural land, a back yard, or an RV/Mobile home park. • It used to be a lot harder to find a location to park and live in a tiny house, but with their growing popularity this is becoming easier. However, it is still the biggest challenge to moving into a tiny house. The issue is that most counties classify tiny houses as being RV’s, and most counties don’t allow people to live in RV’s. There are several reasons for this, one of which is that no property taxes are collected on RV’s. When you live in a county, the people of that county generally want you to contribute to the cost of the infrastructure (schools, roads, etc). The county also wants to control the population level in specific areas, again, because of the burden on infrastructure. • So the idea of a bunch of new residents showing up in an area, living in RV’s, not designed to support them is undesirable. However, there are groups all over the US that are trying to get a unique classification for tiny houses that will allow them to be lived in. Often, this effort is accompanied by some concession on paying taxes. This is being done on a county by county basis, so you will need to check with your local government for information on how this is handled in your area. • In the meantime, most people are just choosing to live in their tiny house regardless of what the local rules are. Since there are so few of them, they usually ‘fly under the radar’. Most code enforcement agencies are complaint driven, meaning they only show up if someone submits a formal complaint. Regardless of where you decide to put your tiny house, we recommend being really good neighbors.

• Yes – We provide a complimentary one year warranty with every house. Years 2, 3, 4 & 5 are available as an upsell. Certain items, like appliances, are covered under their own separate warranty. • Customers will call a toll free number for assistance with any SCC covered claims. Dealers will need to set policy as to how involved they wish to be in this process. It is recommended that customers call the dealer for assistance. This allows the dealer to make certain things are taken care of prior to any customers getting frustrated and besmirching their business!

No – special permits are required due to the size and weight. Shipping is quoted on an individual basis, is dependent on the route the home must go due to size, and is calculated when the home is purchased. Homes are shipped by a professional trucking company with an escort. Customer is responsible for a clear and accessible delivery site. Be prepared to have a step ladder handy to get into the unit upon arrival. Make certain you also have professionally built steps for each house on display!

A local licensed mobile home installer will install your park model to your area's code. We will assist in the coordination of finding a licensed mobile home installer, licensed plumber, and electrician for set up and utility hook up. Customer is responsible for any other set up including the fabrication of porch steps and skirting, or screening in a porch if that is chosen. Customer will need to check the tree line clearance on the property and county roads leading to your property. Loft units need at least 16′ of clearance. If you have a gate onto your property make sure it will allow at minimum 12′ wide clearance to pull through. Make sure there are no low hanging power lines or tree branches in route to the property. You can pre-level the area that the Park Model will be placed to make installation a lot easier. Make sure you have water, electrical panel (amp may vary but is usually 100 amp), and sewer available within 20′ of the unit. Customer will have to have the "pad" constructed (a licensed mobile home installer can do this) with proper drainage. A moisture retardant is generally placed under the home. Most mobile home installers will be able to pour a concrete pad if you choose to use one and will base the dimensions on the floor plan provided by the manufacturer.

You will need to research "insurance for park model homes" to find park model RV coverage. They are generally insured like a recreational vehicle. If your current agent does not offer coverage, we will be happy to provide contact information for agencies that do (State Farm is one).

• Your new park model has all the utilities that you probably have had in any home you have ever lived in and all the same rules apply. There are no holding tanks, the utilities hook directly to a power, water, gas or propane (if you order an instant on hot water heater) and will need to have a sewer and/or septic hookup. Customer is responsible for having site prepared for utility hook up upon arrival. • Construction specific questions will be asked – be familiar with the process and building standards listed on the Stone Canyon Cabins website. A video is currently available that can be used for training staff and as a loop for customer viewing.
