New to full-time rv living

Not because I'm in the screw pile business.... but if it were me, I'd get some screw piles installed I 2 rows, about 8 to 10 feet apart along the trailers I beams. Have the piles above the ground just high enough to back over them, about 8 inches is typical. We make an adjustable bracket that slides into the pile so after you've driven over the piles slide the bracketsame up pin in place and fine tune level with the threaded rod cap..

Some 10 mil poly on the ground, some clean sand on top of that and decent t skirting..and viola...a not so permanent (can unscrew the piles when you want to move) permanent foundation.

Feel free to contact me if you want more details. I do one of these every week.

Thank you for all the information I will check the zoning. I also plan on doing some trenching for the power and water when it warms up a bit. Will also be doing pvc for the black and gray water also with the fresh water.

I like the idea of pouring pads for the jacks that will be another plan for when it starts to warm up.

I will plan on using it as a travel trailer when we are done living in it.

Well, you have been much good advice, if you plan on leaving it there permanently, maybe talk to a mobile home dealer about what they recommend for siting a single wide given the local climate and local zoning, sanitary codes etc. even though you are only placing it there seasonally , you may still bump up against regulations.

Depends - are you ever planning on the travel trailer being used to travel or will it always be in one place?

For what you probably paid for 250SQFT you could have gotten a park model and had three times the floor space, and better insulation. But now that you have it, OK, put it on blocks lay vapor barrier under it, skirt it, and dont forget pipe wrap for the water line.

.

Yes double check the zoning for your parking spot.

Just a suggestion....better contact the "local authorities" to make sure you can do what you want. In too many towns (Clovis might be one) there are rules and regulations that allow or prohibit this "family land" or not.

Anyway...g'luck!
