Folks who aren't RVers are scratching their heads now, wondering what the devil is a park model? It's a factory-built, mini-house that can be transported via road to its permanent location. The size is limited by highway width/height/length regs so the basic shape is a boxcar. Older units have all the architectural appeal of, well ........ a boxcar. In recent years, they've become much more attractive.
Once on site, covered decks are usually added, sometimes a lean-to addition also. Decks are typically covered with sharply-peaked roofs, side additions with nearly flat roofs. End result: 3 different roof lines which, in my humble opinion, look like crap.
Popular ski-area dwellings aren't cheap. Breck is only 90 minutes from Denver, area population 3.2 million, so it's a handy getaway, especially if you're into outdoor sports, winter and/or summer. A 878 SF park model costs a mere $795K here. Such a deal! Or, you can buy an RV lot for just $550 K. But - it does includesa nice picnic table. And, as the proud owner of either a dwelling or a lot, you get to pay $350/month HOA dues. So what's not to like?
On the plus side, this is the nicest RV park in the area, well managed and maintained. And, quite attractive. If you don't mind architectural nightmares.
