Towing a mobile home is a feasible task, albeit with several crucial considerations and limitations. Typically, a 4×4 or a vehicle with equivalent towing capacity is utilised for this purpose. However, it’s important to note that the towing process is slow and is usually limited to moving the mobile home only a few feet. This is commonly done during the positioning phase as part of the siting process.
The weight of a mobile home is a significant factor to bear in mind, as it generally exceeds 6 tonnes. These structures are purposefully designed to be transported to their intended locations securely atop specialised lorries. Attempting to tow a mobile home with anything less than the recommended towing capacity can lead to safety hazards and potential damage.
Therefore, when considering towing a mobile home, it is crucial to adhere to safety guidelines, use the appropriate towing vehicle, and ensure that the equipment used is suitable for the task.
