Know the rules
Rhode Island Rules for Moving a Mobile Home
Four Rhode Island requirements shape every move. Here’s what they are and who handles each one.
RIDOT permit, weekdays only
Under RIDOT’s oversize rule, 290-RICR-40-00-1.5, permitted loads travel Monday through Friday only, from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. We get the permit and plan around those hours.
Escorts for wide homes
The same rule requires one escort for loads 12 feet to 14 feet 6 inches wide, and two escorts for anything wider. We book them.
Interstate time windows
Mobile or modular homes over 12 feet wide on I-195, or on I-95 from the Massachusetts line to Route 37, may only travel between sunrise and 7:00 AM or between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM. That keeps them out of rush hour.
HUD licensed installer
Rhode Island uses HUD’s installation program. Under 24 CFR 3286, a new home’s first installation must be done or supervised by a HUD licensed installer, who certifies the work. Our installers hold that license. For used homes, we check the town’s requirements before we quote.
Rhode Island paperwork
Who Does What in a Rhode Island Move
In Rhode Island, the RIDOT permit and the travel window are the big steps. Here’s the split.
1. Confirm the site
Make sure the park or town allows the home. We’ll check size and access.
2. Town approvals
We confirm what the town’s building and zoning officials need at the new site.
3. We get the permit
The RIDOT oversize permit, escorts and a travel time that fits the rules.
4. Licensed setup
Our HUD licensed installers set the home and certify the installation.

- Permits and escorts: the RIDOT permit, escorts and travel windows for wider homes.
- Site access: narrow streets, tight parks and coastal lots.
- Setup scope: blocking, leveling, anchoring, utilities and skirting.
