Why Elkhart County Buyers
Shop With Us
A HUD-code home is a permanent residence built to the federal manufactured housing code, not a vehicle — it is titled, financed, insured and zoned differently from an RV. Our Goshen post explains the difference before you shop. We deliver across Indiana, with freight quoted per route — it is its own line on your quote, never folded into the home price.

Zoning & permits in Elkhart County
Elkhart County Planning and Development in Goshen handles zoning outside the cities and towns; Goshen, Elkhart and Nappanee each permit inside their limits. Rules for a HUD-code home differ from the rules for an RV or a park model, so ask about the home type specifically. Confirm your parcel with the right office before you order — we can tell you which one that is.
Foundations & frost depth
Footings and piers go below the frost depth the county building department sets; ask for the figure when you apply for the permit. Champion's set-up drawing gives the pier layout, and the foundation contractor you hire builds to both, so plan the concrete before the home ships.

Elkhart County questions
Is a manufactured home the same as an RV or a park model?
No. A manufactured home is built to the federal HUD code as a permanent dwelling; RVs and most park models are built to different standards for recreational or seasonal use. That difference changes zoning, titling, insurance and financing.
Can I place a manufactured home in rural Elkhart County?
Many agricultural and rural residential districts allow one with the right foundation and skirting. Confirm your parcel with Elkhart County Planning and Development, or the city or town office if you are inside limits.

Yes. We deliver across Indiana, with freight quoted per route.
