NEW MOBILE HOMES 
 
Mobile homes have evolved from trailers and are now longer, heavier and more robust in their construction. Because they are seldom moved once placed on a property, as much planning should go into the installation of a mobile home as would be needed for a site built home.

Mobile homes (sometimes referred to as "Modular Homes") are transported in one piece, have a steel base, removable hitch, CSA number, and do NOT go on a permanent foundation, i.e - full basement or crawl space foundation. True modular homes are different than mobile homes. Modular homes are meant to be installed on a permanent foundation, while mobile homes are meant to remain movable. Modular homes are in the same category as an RTM Home, however, be aware that not all areas of the Planning District allow dwellings that resemble mobile homes. 

All mobile homes shall conform in all respects to the CAN/CSA-Z240 MH Series of Standards and shall be complete structurally with the entire plumbing, electrical and heating services installed. They are heat recovery ventilator (HRV) exempt.

The following information shall be marked in English in a permanent and readily visible manner in the interior of the mobile home:
  • CSA number or Manitoba Department of Labour certificate number;
  • Manufacturer’s name and address;
  • Model;
  • Serial number;
  • Year of manufacture;
  • Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR);
  • Ground snow load and roof design snow load;
  • Principal Heat Source;
  • Make & Model of Hot Water Tank.
