Mobile Home Moving Services by Star Van Lines

Star Van Lines supports mobile home relocations for local and long-distance needs, including interstate moves. Whether you already have prep work handled or want guidance through the entire transport plan, we tailor the scope to your situation.

Our mobile home transport services can include:

• Mobile home transport (local or interstate)
• Route planning for oversized load movement
• Permit coordination guidance (state/county requirements vary)
• Scheduling and logistics management
• Transport-only service (when your home is already prepped)
• Full-service support options (when available): planning for take-down, transport, and setup coordination
• Delivery to parks, private land, new developments, or storage sites
• Time-sensitive relocations with clear milestone scheduling

We operate with a compliance-first mindset and focus on reducing surprises—because with manufactured home transport, the details decide whether a move is smooth or stressful.

What Types of Homes We Move

Manufactured housing comes in multiple formats, and each type affects routing, permits, escorts, and setup requirements. Star Van Lines works with a wide range of manufactured and modular structures.

Common home types we move include:

• Single-wide mobile homes Typically transported as one unit. Planning still matters—width, height, and weight impact routing and permits.
• Double-wide mobile homes Often moved in two sections that are transported separately and later reassembled at the destination. This usually increases coordination needs, scheduling, and setup complexity.
• Triple-wide and larger manufactured homes Larger footprints and more sections often mean additional planning, escorts, and stricter route requirements.
• Manufactured homes vs. modular homes While people use these terms interchangeably, the moving approach may differ depending on how the structure is built, permitted, and intended to be installed. We help you plan the safest method based on your home’s specs and destination site needs.

Our Mobile Home Moving Process (Step-by-Step)

Every successful mobile home relocation follows a structured plan. Below is the step-by-step approach Star Van Lines uses to keep the move organized, compliant, and safe.

1. Site Assessment & Basic Measurements We begin with the essentials: where the home is now, where it’s going, and what the access looks like on both ends. Key details include:

   • Home size (single-wide/double-wide/triple-wide)
   • Approximate dimensions and height considerations
   • Condition of the home and structural notes
   • Access obstacles (tight turns, gates, trees, low lines, narrow roads)
   • Destination readiness (pad/foundation, clearance, park requirements)

2. Permits, Oversize Planning & Route Strategy Mobile homes often qualify as oversized loads, which can require permits and route constraints. We plan the route around:

   • Road and bridge restrictions
   • Turn radii and narrow road limitations
   • Height and overhead clearance considerations
   • Time-of-day/day-of-week travel rules that may apply
   • Escort vehicle needs (when required)

3. Prep / Take-Down Planning (As Applicable) Some moves are transport-only, while others require broader coordination. Depending on scope and location, prep planning may include:

   • Steps, decks, skirting removal coordination
   • Securing exterior features and loose elements
   • Window/door protection guidance
   • Utility disconnect coordination (electric, water, sewer, gas where applicable)

4. Loading, Securement & Transport Day Execution Transport isn’t just “hook and go.” The right securement, stabilization, and safety checks reduce the risk of damage:

   • Equipment selection based on home size and route
   • Proper securement and safety inspection before departure
   • Communication updates so you know what’s happening and when

5. Arrival & Positioning Delivery includes careful placement to match the destination’s requirements, whether it’s a mobile home park or private land. We plan for:

   • Access clearance at the drop site
   • Positioning logistics (space, turn-in angles)
   • Timing coordination if multiple sections are delivered (double-wide/triple-wide)

6. Blocking & Leveling (When Part of the Scope) Setting a mobile home correctly matters for comfort and long-term stability. When blocking and leveling are included or coordinated, we ensure the schedule aligns with installation needs.

7. Tie-Downs / Anchoring & Stabilization (When Part of the Scope) Many jurisdictions require anchoring (tie-downs) for safety and code compliance. If anchoring is included or coordinated, we align it with the destination requirements and installation timeline.

8. Utility Reconnect Coordination & Final Walkthrough Utility reconnect often involves local licensed professionals and inspections depending on state/county rules. We help coordinate the sequence so you can restore normal living quickly and safely. Final steps include a walkthrough and confirmation that the delivery matches plan.

Permits, Regulations & Safety (Why It Matters)

Manufactured home transport is heavily influenced by local and state regulations. Permits, escort vehicle rules, travel windows, and route constraints can vary significantly between jurisdictions—and they can change based on the home’s dimensions.

Why permits and planning matter:

• Permits may be required for oversized load movement, sometimes at the state level and sometimes at the county/city level.
• Escort vehicles may be required depending on width and route complexity.
• Travel time restrictions can apply (for example, limited hours, weekday-only movement, or restrictions near holidays).
• Route selection isn’t optional—some roads can’t handle certain widths or turning requirements.
• Safety risks increase without proper planning: damage to the home, delays, fines, and last-minute reroutes.

If you’re moving across state lines, it’s smart to work with a team that understands interstate logistics and encourages you to verify that movers are properly registered for the scope of the move. Star Van Lines approaches each move with a compliance-first planning mindset—because doing it right protects your home and your timeline.

Mobile Home Moving Cost — What Affects Your Quote

Pricing for mobile home transport isn’t “one-size-fits-all.” Two homes that look similar can cost very different amounts to move based on route, access, permits, and the services needed.

Key factors that affect your mobile home moving quote:

• Home size and type: single-wide vs. double-wide vs. triple-wide
• Distance: local moves vs. long-distance/interstate transport
• Condition of the home: structural stability can affect handling needs
• Access at pickup and delivery: narrow streets, sharp turns, trees, low lines, steep grades
• Permits and regulatory requirements: varies by state/county/city
• Escort vehicles: may be required for oversized loads
• Prep and take-down needs: skirting, decks, steps, attachments, and securing exterior elements
• Setup needs at destination: blocking and leveling, tie-downs/anchoring (when included or coordinated)
• Timing: peak seasons and tight timeframes can influence scheduling complexity

Typical price ranges (non-binding, vary widely):

• Local moves can often start in the low thousands, depending on size and setup needs.
• Long-distance moves can range significantly higher, especially for double-wide/triple-wide homes, permits, and escort requirements.
• Full-service moves (prep + transport + setup coordination) generally cost more than transport-only.

How to Prepare Your Mobile Home for Transport (Quick Checklist)

A little preparation can prevent delays and reduce the risk of damage. Here’s a practical checklist to help you get ready for moving day.

Before transport, plan to:

• Confirm your home size (single-wide/double-wide) and approximate dimensions if available
• Remove or secure loose items inside (especially in cabinets and on shelves)
• Take down fragile décor, mirrors, and wall-mounted items that could shift
• Secure doors and windows; ensure latches function properly
• Unplug and prepare appliances as instructed by your service providers
• Arrange utility disconnects (electric, water, sewer, gas where applicable) with qualified professionals
• Remove or schedule removal of skirting, steps, decks, porches, and exterior attachments
• Check HVAC units and external components for securement needs
• Clear access paths: trim branches, remove obstacles, unlock gates
• Ensure vehicles are moved away from the home to allow equipment access
• Confirm destination site readiness: pad/foundation, clearance, park approval if applicable
• Gather documentation required by your destination (some parks require approvals or scheduling windows)
• Plan for pets and family logistics on move day—transport zones can be busy and hazardous
• Keep essential documents and valuables with you, not inside the home during transport
