Water Damage
Water damage will shorten the mobile trailer’s lifespan and affect its integrity. Check the exterior windows and interior perimeter for any signs of water damage. These can look like stains on the walls or discoloration of the roof. Water damage also encourages the growth of allergy-inducing mold.
Floor and Foundation
Good flooring and foundation support a mobile home’s structure and weight-bearing capacity. Its bottom side should be well-shielded from the elements. Check the floor for any soft spots to ascertain any water damage. That said, consult the trailer seller or rental company about the foundation options your mobile trailer has.
Vapor Barrier
Vapor barriers protect your home against moisture damage and high humidity. It usually has a dark blue or black color. Ensure it has no signs of sagging, delamination, or rips in the material. The manufacturer or rental company must provide a new moisture barrier before they let you use the trailer.
AC Ventilation
Mobile home air conditioning has a simple duct-based HVAC system. Request a new unit from the manufacturer or rental company. Test the unit’s cooling capability and take note of its energy consumption. Furthermore, avoid using window air conditioner units; it indicates your mobile home wasn’t built with AC systems in mind.
