Tiny Home Delivery Day: What to Expect

Tiny Home Delivery Day: What to Expect

Delivery Day Basics

A Park Model RV isn't towed into your driveway like a weekend camper. It arrives on a professional hauler, is set onto its site with specialized equipment, and is leveled and anchored by the delivery crew. Knowing what happens — and what your role is — keeps the day smooth.

Prepare the Site Before the Truck Arrives

The most important part of delivery day happens before it. Your site should be clear of obstructions, with a level pad or approved footing where the unit will sit, and confirmed access for the delivery trailer — think overhead wires, gate widths, and tight turns on the street. A site evaluation with your American Dream ADU team identifies these details in advance, so there are no surprises when the hauler pulls up.

Utilities: Plan Them Early

Your tiny home will need electrical, water, and sewer or septic connections. These are arranged with licensed local trades and your utility providers — this is ordinary infrastructure work, but scheduling it takes coordination, so start conversations early. Your delivery team can tell you what stub-outs and rough-ins the unit needs so everything lines up.

The Day Itself

On delivery day, the crew positions the unit, levels it precisely, and secures the anchor points. You'll walk the home with them, confirm placement, and review the setup. It's a straightforward process — most of the work is in the preparation, and that's already done.

After Delivery

Once set, the final utility hookups are completed, and the home is ready for its final walkthrough. Your American Dream ADU team stays with you through punch-out, so nothing is left half-finished.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is a tiny home titled like a vehicle?

Yes. Park Model RVs are titled through the DMV like recreational vehicles, not recorded as real property. That keeps the paperwork simple.

What does my site need before delivery?

A level pad or approved footing, clear access for the delivery trailer, and planned utility stub-outs for electrical, water, and sewer or septic.

Is a Park Model RV the same as a manufactured home?

Park Model RVs are built to ANSI A-119.5 / RVIA standards as recreational vehicles. They are not manufactured homes and not ADUs — different rules apply, and your team will walk you through what your city or county allows.
