Most RV parks in the small Rio Grande Valley on the southern tip of Texas are similar to those around the world, with one exception. These parks patronize 150,000 so-called migratory winter residents from the northern states and Canada during the winter months.
Thus, their main operations are focused on these three-eight-month winter places in addition to typical night or weekend. These parks have five types of local stationary units for renting or purchasing for temporary winter housing. They are named and described below.
1. Stationary trailer (TT). Numerous travel models with one bedroom from 25 to 40 feet in length in one bedroom with one bathroom were installed on the block and permanently fixed on their concrete platforms, where they can be bypassed in appearance. To make them more spacious, they often had permanent hand-pushing extensions or a Texas room added to them, as well as an awning on the patio. The Texas Room is a fully enclosed width extension to one side of the trailer. It can vary from a covered porch to a fully furnished room.
These devices are very suitable for two tents of small and medium size. They rent from $ 400 to $ 1,500 per month during the winter season, depending on their condition and location. They are also sold for between $ 8 and 50K, depending on their age, size, condition and location. When they expand and reconstruct, they are similar in size to a mobile home with a park model below and are sometimes referred to as such.
2 Park model, small (EVENING). This model is smaller than a regular full-sized mobile home. Older dimensions are about 12x33 feet with one bedroom, a bathroom, a dense but full-sized kitchen and a small living room. Newer, more modern than these, and stationary walkers are higher. Modern PM has a sloping roof, design windows and baseboards, high ceilings, a fairly large bathroom, modern kitchen and living space, a combined air and heat source, a ceiling fan and an extra room (warehouse, den, half board, office, or bedroom). Viewed from above, it can be L-shaped plus a covered deck, patio, porch, shed or parking space.
For insurance and taxation reasons, this model has a non-taxable living space of about 400 square feet or a little higher. Thus, it is often applied to a small concrete platform for trailers with a small or missing bottom, with the exception of rare trees, shrubs, or plants in pots. This rent is about $ 900-1500 per month. That they owned, they cost from $ 50 to 80 thousand. Or more new, including transportation costs and installation costs. There are also models of a larger park. But they usually sit in much larger areas reserved for mobile homes.
3 Mobile home big (PL) This rather long and narrow house can be similar to those seen in the parks and countryside of the MX. Newer models are wider (16 to 20 feet) than older ones (10 to 14 feet), which makes them spacious. As a rule, they have two or three bedrooms with two large bathrooms. But various configurations and sizes are available, including stylish ones. MH can also have a covered concrete patio and / or parking space as well as a Texas room. Depending on the exact size of his batch, MH may have some additional additions on both sides. In addition, there is a single room with one bedroom, where there are rooms the size of PM. Usually they are designed for guests who do not have night guests.
Despite the fact that it can still be moved, this parked and torn house is located on a fairly large area, where there will be enough space for a barn, garden, trees and yard to take care of the owner or the rented certificate. Due to its large size, it is insured and taxed accordingly.
These rentals are for 900-2500 US dollars per month depending on the above conditions. That they owned, they cost from 25 to 200 thousand. Dollars. US used or new, with shipping and installation costs included as needed. If their added Texas rooms are raised to the same floor levels as MH, they look like the double sides below.
4. Double wide , Double wide, as elsewhere, often stylish. Unlike the so-called stationary trailers and mobile homes above, they become completely permanent homes and are likely to no longer move after installation. They are very spacious. They also sit on large plots and belong as ordinary real estate, usually occupied by long-term owners.
5. Efficient apartment Some large parks have several guest apartments that can be useful for guests, and invite visitors to stay. These apartments can range from motel rooms to suites to furnished small apartments. During the winter season, these rental rates are about the same as when buying trailers are higher, from $ 600 to $ 1,500 per month.
In addition to the above accommodation, limited seasonal motel rooms, suites and time clocks are also available for new visitors to this valley. However, since potential winter prisoners may enjoy various activities in RV parks, they may prefer to rent one of the above units before deciding on its ownership. The parks have attendants who monitor these properties all year round. For more information about these types of accommodation see these sites.
