> I could connect to city power, water, natural gas, and sewage

How?

2 comments

I planned to park my house in a trailer park, and purposefully built my house to have the same kind of hookups as an RV or manufactured home.

For power, I installed a 50amp RV-style power inlet to my house. I ran a 50-amp cable from from the power pole to my house.

For water, I was able to connect a standard drinking-water hose from the water line to the inlet into my house.

For natural gas, I ran copper flex tubing from the gas meter to the gas inlet in my house. I ensured that all of my gas appliances had the correct orifices.

For sewer, I drained all of my water fixtures (two sinks, shower, and toilet) through the floor, connected them to a common drain line, and through a sewer hookup below the house.

I thought a lot of trailer parks wouldn't allow something that wasn't built by a certified builder?
How are they going to know? Are you one of those people that thinks people shouldn't be allowed to work on their own car?
Through hookups built into the side of the tiny house.
