How Can I Set Up My Travel Trailer Like A House In My Yard?

by Lee
(Madera, CA)

I would like set up my Travel Trailer like a house in my yard.

ANSWER: Greetings Lee thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

Well Lee, I am afraid that I am not going to be the bearer of good news. You are probably going to find out that you may not be able to legally set up a travel trailer as permanent residence on your property. In some cities and counties it is not even legal to store your Recreation Vehicle on your own property, much less make it a permanent residence.

Since you live in the City Of Madera your first step should be to contact the City of Madera Community Development Department and see if you can even legally setup a Travel Trailer as a permanent residence.

Even if you find out you can, there are going to be all kinds of building codes that you are going to have abide by. Hopefully your inquiry with the city will not open up the proverbial "Can Of Worms" for you.

"house" trailer
by: Jerry

If you find out that your codes do permit the "house" trailer on your propery then maybe check with a mobile home supply store/dealer and bring this question up to them. They may suggest skirting, and maybe a small deck going to the door. There are issues with water/electricity/ sewer that they may be able to help you with too.

Don't forget to add satellite TV, so when your wife does kick you out of the house you will have that available.
