What are Mobile Homes?

Mobile homes are prefabricated wooden houses built on a wooden base fixed to a metal frame equipped with rubber wheels and a drawbar. Wanting to simplify, they are a sort of big sisters of the caravans, but definitely bigger, sturdier, and more comfortable. Unlike the latter, in fact, the mobile home inside is equipped with separate rooms and equipment present in traditional homes.

This type of home has been in common use for several decades in the United States, but is rapidly gaining share in Pakistan as well, thanks to a wide range of models for all budgets and needs. The main use of a mobile home is for tourism, but more and more people choose it as their main residence, as they are compact and practical, to be placed on their own private land.

How is a Mobile Home Made?

This type of home shares a long series of advantages with prefabricated wooden houses. Thanks to the modular multilayer walls, the mobile home enjoys optimal thermal and acoustic insulation, thus eliminating the risks of mold and infiltrations.
