Yes. There are several ways to insure a modular home depending on if it is used as a seasonal or permanent dwelling and how it is certified. You’ll have to check with your regional insurance agency, but most agencies should offer full coverage for modular homes, including contents insurance to cover your belongings and coverage for permanent additional structures such as decks or sheds.

RVs are built with a primary focus on weight, whereas our modular homes are focused on quality. Our homes are built to last as long as traditional homes, unlike RVs, which have very short lifespans. RVs are great for what they are designed for – short-term living and portability, perfect for a vacation or a trip but not for full time living. The biggest problem with living in an RV/House on wheels is that you feel like you’re living on wheels, you feel disconnected from the Earth, and unstable. Feeling your home move every time you move around gives a temporal feeling. At Habitat28 sustainability, livability and functionality are our biggest drivers while designing our modular homes. With such a high focus on aesthetics, quality, and functionality our Habitat28  homes make you feel like you’re living in a high-end modern and luxury home. If you choose to, you can still move your home to another location. This way you get the best of both worlds – stability of the foundation and portability.

Yes. All Habitat28 models are designed for four season living, suitable for any climate you expose them to.
