Lowering a mobile home to ground level or eliminating the gap underneath is not a common or a straightforward task. Mobile homes are typically designed to be elevated above the ground on a permanent chassis for various reasons, including ventilation, insulation, and protection from moisture.
If you are considering such a modification, it’s crucial to have a survey. They can assess the feasibility of the project, address any potential issues, and ensure that any modifications don’t effect the use of the home. You will also need to consult a gas engineer, plumber and electrician as lowering the home may mean that the utilities need adjustments so that all continue to function effectively.
In many cases, it might be more practical to address concerns related to the gap beneath the mobile home through other means, such as adding skirting or insulation to improve energy efficiency and protect against the elements.
