Anyone out there lives in a mobile home?
 

Anyone out there lives in a mobile home? I always wonder how it works in Toronto/Ontario.

- What driver's licence do I need to have to drive one of those mini mobile home? Is it difficult to get the licence?
- Where can I park them overnight in GTA area? If the location has the facility for mobile home, how much is the gas and water per month? How much is the monthly parking?
- Any special permit I need to acquire to drive the mobile home?
- Do you see mobile home a good investment? Can I actually rent it out to a 3rd party if I decide not to live in a mobile home one day?
- What are the pros & cons I should be aware of?
- How much do you think I should set aside to achieve this dream?

Any inputs from mobile home owner will be greatly appreciated!!!

I am thinking of the possibility of living in a mobile home and probably doing some travelling...

Most municipalities will have bylaws in place that prevent you from living in a mobile home. They are generally considered eyesores, so they try to keep them from becoming permanent residences.

You would have to seek out an actual trailer park community that allows people to live there year round, in which case you would probably have to purchase one of their trailers, or something that meets their guidelines. They will have rules on what type of trailer they allow there. Most likely a motorhome would not be allowed to be a year-round residence.

You won't need any special permit to drive a motorhome unless it has air brakes, in which case you will need what is called your Z endorsement on your license. I think it is still just a written test that you have to take.

Most motorhomes don't have air brakes unless they are the large diesel pushers.

A motorhome is not a good investment.
