We help you find the mobile home that’s right for you.
With our twenty years of experience in the mobile home sector, we can provide consultation in choosing the mobile home that best suits your tastes and housing needs. We do this by guiding you with questions and personalized advice, even remotely. To get started, here are the first things to consider before choosing your mobile home, and answering the most frequently asked questions from our clients.
Before starting your search, establish a clear and realistic budget. This will help you focus on options that fit your financial possibilities. The good news is that a mobile home is a highly economical housing solution, likely boasting the best cost-to-quality ratio. This advantage is even greater when considering the used mobile homes available in the 4Springs assortment.
Consider the living needs of yourself and the people who will live in the new home, including the characteristics of the context or contexts where it will be placed. Here are some questions you should answer.
Knowing how many and which people will live in your new mobile home helps us understand the space requirements you might need. Are you a couple or a group of friends? Are you a family? Are there small children? Based on the answers, we can eliminate all housing units that do not fit your situation and focus on a more targeted selection.
Keep in mind that the dimensions of mobile homes are quite different from those of brick-and-mortar houses. A mobile home is designed to optimize living spaces to the maximum, and it can do this because, although equipped with sturdy and insulating walls, they are still incredibly thinner than those of traditional houses. This allows for exceptional space allocation and distribution, providing practicality and comfort in just a few square meters.
Do you need double bathrooms? Do you need 3 bedrooms?
There is a wide variety of mobile home styles. Each manufacturer has its distinctive characteristics and collections dedicated to different types of design. If you are not sure about this, you can first evaluate the available options before deciding.
Will it be a permanent home? Or a vacation home?
Will it be an office, a support space, or a guest house? Will it be permanently placed in one location, or will it be mobile?
The purpose and location of the mobile home are as important to consider as your needs, if not more, because they impose constraints that cannot be overlooked. For example, if the home will be used year-round or in cold environments, it is necessary to choose an insulated mobile home for cold environments with heating systems to ensure optimal performance even in winter.
Another important aspect to consider regarding the destination is the size of the mobile home relative to the access road to the destination, especially the width. A mobile house leaves the manufacturer ready to be lived in, and it cannot be disassembled. This is one of its strengths, but it can become a problem if not carefully evaluated. Not only that, the width of the home also affects the transportation times and costs. If you want to know more about transportation, here you can find more information.
No transport-related limits, however, for the length. If the destination space allows it, where more space is needed, we can extend the length by combining multiple housing modules and connecting them based on your needs.
When choosing a mobile home, it is important to carefully evaluate features, materials, the manufacturer, and structural integrity. This is even more crucial for a used mobile home. Often, however, people lack the expertise to make an effective evaluation. Well, the 4Springs business model aims at savings and environmental sustainability achieved through the restoration and reuse of mobile homes, with a basic quality assessed upfront by people with twenty years of experience. So, in our assortment, you will have an inspection and evaluation already included in the offer. Here you can find only the best brands, housing units with structural guarantees, and an expert guide ready to help you choose your mobile home within an assortment that boasts high standards in all its proposals.

The placement of mobile homes for private use is regulated by D.P.R. 380/2001 and in any case requires the prior opinion of the competent municipal technical office, which must be informed to issue the authorization so that the placement complies with local regulations and ensures compliance with urban planning and territorial management rules. However, the regulations vary from place to place and often do not consider all possibilities, leaving gray areas open to interpretation. For example, parking mobile homes is not subject to precise rules; these depend on the context and the area where you want to park them. Often, in non-restricted agricultural land, mobile homes can be placed as long as the wheels are kept functional and no permanent construction works are carried out.
To obtain the permits for connections, you need to contact a trusted technician and the local authorities in charge. The regulations in this regard are fragmented and not entirely exhaustive. Once everything is in order, we can perform all the connections to utilities such as electricity, water, and gas, provided that the connections are all on the surface. Any excavation to bring the connections to the surface is the customer’s responsibility.
We can also support you in evaluating the availability of all the services you want to have once the home is placed. This is a very important aspect, especially if the destination is in an isolated area far from urbanized zones.
In the vast majority of situations, a mobile home is treated like other mobile vehicles on the market, such as caravans and RVs, and is therefore treated differently from real estate. Placing a mobile home on non-buildable agricultural land is therefore generally not subject to any legal constraints. However, as mentioned in the previous answers, the regulations vary significantly from one place to another.
The transport of a mobile home involves authorizations, escorts, times, and costs that vary depending on the width of the mobile home. It ranges from ordinary transport to exceptional transport. At 4Springs, we can handle all the bureaucratic aspects and ensure transport to the destination, throughout Italy and abroad, including islands. We do this for those who buy or sell homes from us, as well as for third parties who already own a home that needs to be transported.

Maintaining a mobile home involves just a few simple actions. The only precaution concerns the water pipes. If the home is used regularly during winter, it is necessary to protect the external pipes with special sleeves to prevent the water from freezing, which can lead to unpleasant breakages. If, on the other hand, the home remains closed during the cold months, simply remember to leave it in “winter mode,” meaning completely empty the pipes before shutting off the water and closing the house to avoid the risk of pipes bursting due to freezing.
In addition to standard mobile home models, we have a wide selection of insulated mobile homes suitable for cold areas where temperatures regularly drop below freezing. The insulation of the mobile home includes walls, roof, and floors. The windows can be made of thermal break PVC and double glazing, which allows for complete thermal insulation of the rooms and high energy efficiency.
Of course! We can expand the spaces of your mobile home by adding an external terrace, which can also be on wheels, made of wood, iron, or any material and design you prefer and that best suits your home.
