I recently moved a 1983 single wide mobile home that had been completely reroofed, with roof overhangs added, and resided. I found cheap mobile home insurance that covered moving the home against structure damage for about $130. I would highly recommend some type of moving insurance for any long distance moves on an older mobile home, especially if in poor shape or if there are a lot of changes to the structure. If the roof or walls severely crack or break or the windows pop out, ect, the insurance would pay for itself almost immediately.

Is it the right wind zone for the new area? Have you got a repair permit for the septic? Then there’s the moving permit, for which you’ll have to pay any old taxes + a fee.

Bob,
You’ll need to have a local mover check it out and aprise you of possible problems. In most cases, it should be ok. I did see one several years back where the entire interior was sheet-rocked. It added so much extra weight that the hitch (welded on) broke off as they were trying to get it out of the spot. Not sure if they ever got it moved or not.
