Park Model Options
I’ve discussed Park Model Homes in several other posts on the Tiny House Blog as an option for tiny house living. See the Cavco Cabins, the Cottages to Go, and the Park Model Resorts articles. I wanted to bring them up again as several people have brought a couple of things to my attention in the last few days.
Yvette McGuire of Coast Homes in Fort Bragg California emailed me recently to let me know that she had a couple of Covelo’s listed at closeout prices of $34,000 and $35,000 and that prices were heading up as the demand is high for Park Model Homes and the price of constructing them has gone up as well. Pictured above are the Covelo ($34k) and Covelo II ($35k, with porch), these are available to be placed where you would like.
Yvette also noted that she had another available in Casper, located just out of Mendocino. Listed for $80,000 plus a month rental fee for the land. This one is shown below and I have attached a pdf file, Casper RV Space, if you would like the full details. Please feel free to contact Yvette at 707-964-1201 if any of these interest you. Let her know you learned about them at the Tiny House Blog.
My friend and I were up in the Sierra’s a couple of weekends ago and discovered a remote piece of land, that is off the grid that I would love to own. Cavco located in Phoenix Arizona has recently come out with an off the grid Park Model Home, and I will be covering that home in the next post. So if you are looking for off the grid options, stay tuned.
My friend also pointed out another Park Model for sale in Lake County, situated on the Lake for $49,200. This price is for the home and it than has a $525 a month rental fee for the placement of the home. Go to the Heron Oaks Waterfront Resort to learn more.
I realize that these are all based in Northern California, but I think if you look in the area you live you will find some of these same options available to you.

Just a little FYI the units Yvette emailed you about are Silvercrest Park Models built at our Woodland, CA Plant and they are Sierra models. I am not sure where the Covelo name came from other than that is a city not too far from fort bragg? You can take a look at these units when they were being built at our plant on my web album at the following link.

My husband and I are currently in the process of purchasing a park model to place on my parents’ land. We’re going through a little dealer in Southwest Washington called the Toutle River RV Resort, and our total cost including tax and freight (not counting site prep) will be just under $40,000 for a loft model. We figure that’s a pretty good price for our first home!

There is plenty of sun in Texas and these are nice little homes. I like the solar idea, but it is so hot here I doubt the solar configuration would run an A/C unit.

I am interested in clearance, new park models, Cavco, Chariot Eagle, and Silvercrest.
Thank you
We live in the Phoenix, Az area

I got to be honest. Cavco Park Homes and Cabins in Phoenix are truly the best built homes on the market. They are always the leader in creativity, quality and service. We recently did a large sub division of rental cabins. From start to finish the Cavco team was incredible. We toured several factories from Texas to California and settled on Cavco. They are a public company with a solid back ground.
