Mobile Homes

Mobile homes are an economical housing solution that have evolved from trailers and are now longer, heavier and more rigidly constructed. Because they are seldom moved once placed on a property, as much planning should go into the installation of a mobile home as would be needed for a site built home.

All mobile homes shall conform in all respects to the CAN/CSA-Z240 MH Series of Standards and shall be complete structurally with the entire plumbing, electrical and heating services installed.

The following information shall be marked in English in a permanent and readily visible manner in the interior of the mobile home:

• Manufacturer’s name and address
• Model
• Serial number
• Year of manufacture
• Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
• Ground snow load and roof design snow load
• Design wind pressures without anchorage
• CSA number
