What’s Life Like as a Mobile Log Home Owner?

It’s no surprise to our readers as to how much we love supplying log homes. There’s something so special about building with wood, let alone living under it. It’s that sense of home sweet home you can’t get with other construction materials. And lucky for you (and us), you can bring it on the road.

Now, having a mobile home is a unique lifestyle: You’re constantly resettling, but always settled. But having a mobile log home is even more unique, because you’re combining both the benefits of a log home and a mobile home. You’ll have that space you love with you at all times, but it’ll be different. And we’re here to tell you how to keep yourself equipped for what lies ahead.

By taking your log home on the road, you open yourself up to issues you wouldn’t otherwise have as a settled home owner. Fuel, of course, is one thing. The high costs of travel can add up quickly, and can stump mobile log home owners before they even leave the state. But don’t fret: solar and alternative energies for wood homes are readily available, and can be installed anywhere you go.

Keeping Your Log Home Exterior Healthy

However, keep in mind that the log home will be vulnerable to varied forces of nature, since you’ll be going through different terrains, and may decay or chip. That means you have to be proactive, and keep your wood healthy. In order to do so, invest some time in caulking, coating, finishing, and pest control, all of which can be found on our site.

 

Also, now that you’re on the move, you’ll want to make sure your wood is safely constructed. That said, we offer a wide range of fasteners, screw jacks, and other building tools to keep that home together, no matter the landscape.

The best part of the mobile log home is that it will remind you how durable wood is. Because don’t forget: In the end, it’s born and raised in nature. If anything, you’re putting it up to its natural test. Especially on the road.
