We are considering putting a Park Model next to our mobile home for MIL to live in. I have electric in place. I will probably have to use a macerator to empty tanks. Any guidance? Do I need to put something under the tires. I've only ever camped in my camper in RV and State Parks.

I'm sure you've already checked county/municipality ordinances for feasibility. Are you on sewer or septic? Can the PM be added? I've seen some exceptionally nice PM's -- it's amazing what can be done with 400 square feet or so.Best of luck to you.

Dumping via macerator will get old quickly. Do it right, once.

The park models that I am familiar with that are in RV parks in Arizona do mot have holding tanks. Hard piped from the park model to a sewer outlet. Also, they have a residential pottie in them. Now a park trailer can have or not have holding tanks. Also as A1RealatorRick posted, you better talk to the municipality. Wheels on or off, what sort of tie downs etc.

If it has tanks. it is NOT a park modelThey have no fresh tankNo "Holding" tanksand a residential flusher toiletThey are designed to be fully hooked up full time Just like a mobile home but they call them "park models" for legal reasons.

a park model is nothing more than a mobile home that is legally classified as a travel trailer.
