(Intending with the latter term a construction that does not remain "mobile" once it is set up and put in place, and the former as "maybe" mobile = dismountable and reusable with some effort. Ultimately, every kind of construction can be dismounted (or moved entirely, if you don't mind an extraordinary effort), and often the material can be reused. Are we going to look at how complicated / work intensive / technically feasible without destroying parts, this will be, or will it simply follow the self-declaration of the vendor? (probably the latter). To give a concrete example, is this a mobile home of the kind you are asking about? https://www.gilmorecityiowa.com/vertical/Sites/%7BAF493C7D-8EF8-4030-AA1E-B40B51320DEF%7D/uploads/over_sized_load.JPG Or is it something like this: https://bestofhouse.net/wp-content/uploads/trailer-homes-sale-new-mobile_117483.jpg This would be an example for a (bigger) container home: https://mymodernmet.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/shipping-container-homes-4.jpg > Another user made the page shop=mobile_home but I'm guessing that this > is American English and might not be correct. > I would expect these "trailer homes" to be an american specialty, so I wouldn't mind if we used an american term for it (we generally do not have the possibility to transport oversized things on the roads in Europe, traffic is too dense, and too many obstacles like adjacent buildings, bridges and narrow roads, so with the legal requirements for such transports it would cost too much to do it for something like a "cheap" home. There might also be other legal obstacles, like you could not live permanently in such a structure (maybe unless you set it up on ground that is zoned as residential area, but then this would cost too much to use it as extensively as these, or maybe there isn't cultural acceptance for these, or a mix of all these, in the end these are not frequent. There are similar situations though, like alotment gardens with huts on them, where people may live occasionally (but usually not legally), or campsites with semi-permanent residents, generally used as holiday homes (and mostly only in the warmer period of the year). > "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_home: "A *mobile home* (also > *trailer* > , *trailer home*, *house trailer*, *static caravan*, *residential caravan*) > is a prefabricated <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefabrication > >structure, > built in a factory on a permanently attached chassis before being > transported to site (either by being towed or on a trailer). > so the chassis must be there, is a strict requirement? Would a box-structure (container) satisfy this requirement? Cheers Martin
