Park model RVs aren’t your average rig. These compact cabins-on-wheels blend the best of two worlds — mobility and comfort. They offer more space than a typical RV, but are still towable (with some effort). A park model is ideal for a long-term stay or a seasonal setup, and more RV parks than ever are creating designated areas for these tiny-home-style getaways. But for anyone thinking about purchasing a park model, Rule No. 1 is probably to know a few beautiful RV parks where you can permanently park it.
