Packing up a mobile home involves significantly less stress and time than moving out of a standard residence. Once you get to where you’re going, you won’t have to worry about where to place your furniture and other belongings, as the biggest items will already be in place. However, it’s imperative to make sure they’re safe when you arrive. If your family is relocating, follow these tips to ensure a successful moving day. 

Top Tips to Ensure a Successful Mobile Home Move

1. Wrap Up Breakables

Keep breakable items safe by wrapping them in bubble wrap or other applicable materials such as newspaper or old towels before putting them in boxes. This includes mugs, flatware, electronics such as small televisions and laptops, and anything else that could get severely damaged during transport.

2. Secure Furniture

Use bungee cords to secure loose items such as small chairs or tables to heavy appliances and large furniture. Check any fold-down furniture pieces to make sure they won’t come loose during transport, resulting in damages and injuries. Also, check the security of large kitchen appliances and provide reinforcements if necessary.

3. Check the Toilet Water Level

Drain off some of the water in your toilet before you leave so it doesn’t spill over en route to your new location. Use this time to also check your fixtures for leaks and other problems so you can get them serviced before you move.

4. Label Boxes

Remember to label every packed box to save time later on. Depending on the size of your mobile home, you can probably leave the packed items in each room to save additional time and hassle upon arrival. Use bungee cords or other applicable security items to keep the boxes from sliding around. Heavy boxes generally do not need as much security.
