Build the sales route before committing to stock
A mobile-home dealership needs a defined customer, intended use, destination-market review route and responsibility split. This guide helps dealers, distributors and holiday-park operators prepare those decisions before requesting a product and commercial proposal.
It does not provide investment, margin, legal or compliance guarantees. Costs, approvals, standards, delivery, installation and aftersales obligations must be checked for the actual market and project.
First choose the commercial route
“Mobile home dealership” can describe different businesses. The route determines the product shortlist, documentation, working-capital exposure and local obligations.
Project-led holiday-park supply
Units are selected against a named site, intended use, pitch plan and project timetable. The dealer coordinates the site team, local review, logistics, installation and end-customer scope.
Dealer range or display model
The dealer defines a focused market range and decides whether stock, a display unit or order-on-demand sales are commercially justified. Eurodita does not publish a universal investment or break-even model.
Private-label distribution
The partner controls its market-facing brand. Branding on agreed packaging and relevant customer-facing documentation is confirmed in the written quotation and order.
Seven checks before you spend
Complete these checks with your commercial, technical and local professional teams. They replace unsupported assumptions about market size, dealer margin, stock turnover or return on investment.
- Buyer fit. Identify whether the customer is a holiday-park operator, developer, dealer or another qualified B2B buyer.
- Intended use. Record holiday, residential or another intended use before discussing a technical review route.
- Local route. Confirm planning, site licensing, siting, inspection and other destination requirements with the relevant authority or professional.
- Full landed scope. Model factory price, transport, import, unloading, siting, services, installation, local review, sales and aftersales costs.
- Sales model. Decide whether you will hold stock, use a display model, sell against confirmed projects or combine these routes.
- Delivery capability. Appoint competent parties for transport, access, unloading, positioning, site works, connections and handover.
- Customer obligations. Check contracts, deposits, warranties, insurance, consumer-facing information and aftersales obligations in your market.
UK project-review frameworks
A standard title is not a product certificate. Its relevance depends on the intended use, destination, confirmed build-up and the route required by the buyer, site operator, local authority or appointed assessor.
| Framework | What the primary source says | Dealer action |
|---|---|---|
| BS 3632:2023 | BSI titles it “Residential park homes — Specification”. | Confirm whether it is relevant to the intended residential park-home project and who will review, inspect or certify the finished scope. |
| BS EN 1647:2026 | BSI titles it “Leisure accommodation vehicles. Caravan holiday homes. Habitation requirements relating to health and safety”. | Confirm whether it is relevant to the planned caravan holiday-home use and which edition and assessment route the destination project requires. |
| Planning and site licensing | GOV.UK states that a caravan site in England, Scotland or Wales usually needs a local council licence and that planning permission is required before applying for the licence. | Check the actual site, use, planning status, licence conditions and any exceptions with the relevant local authority. Northern Ireland and country-specific rules require separate review. |
Define factory and project responsibilities
The written quotation and order documents control the actual scope. The split below is a preparation guide, not a substitute for those documents.
Eurodita factory scope
- Manufacture the timber-building kit or agreed unit scope to the confirmed specification.
- Prepare the agreed drawings, packing, marking and order documentation.
- Apply agreed private-label presentation where recorded for the order.
- Check, pack and release the order from the Kaunas factory under the confirmed terms.
Dealer, buyer and site scope
- Confirm intended use, local approvals, site licence conditions and destination review route.
- Manage site access, foundations or base, unloading, positioning, construction, services and installation.
- Control the end-customer offer, local contracts, warranty communication and aftersales.
- Arrange logistics according to the agreed Incoterm and written order.
Logistics: Eurodita’s standard factory-release basis is EXW from Kaunas. Delivered options, including DAP or DDP, may be arranged for selected markets and projects, with the responsibility split agreed individually per order. See the B2B shipping and delivery policy.
Prepare a quote-ready first enquiry
A useful enquiry lets both sides decide whether the project fits before catalogue, engineering and commercial work expands.
- Your company, market and role in the project.
- Target customer and intended use of the units.
- Destination country, site location and local review route identified so far.
- Preferred layouts, dimensions, quantity and whether a catalogue or bespoke route is expected.
- Available drawings, site constraints, access limits and service requirements.
- Required specification, documentation, branding, packaging and marking.
- Requested factory-release window and the logistics party responsible after release.
- Installation, handover, warranty and aftersales responsibility plan.
Mobile home dealership FAQ
Does Eurodita publish dealership investment, margin or ROI figures?
No. Investment, margin, working capital, stock turnover and return depend on the dealer’s market, customer route, landed cost, sales model and obligations. A dealer should build and independently review its own financial model before committing funds.
Which technical standard applies to a mobile log-home project?
The relevant framework depends on intended use, destination, product specification and the route required by the buyer, site operator, local authority or appointed assessor. BS 3632:2023 and BS EN 1647:2026 may be relevant to UK projects, but neither is a blanket Eurodita certification claim.
Does a UK mobile-home project need planning permission or a site licence?
GOV.UK states that a caravan site in England, Scotland or Wales usually needs a local council licence and that planning permission is required before the licence application. The dealer or site operator must confirm the exact site, intended use, conditions and exceptions with the relevant authority.
Can Eurodita supply mobile log homes under a dealer’s brand?
Private-label presentation can be agreed for an order. The written quotation and order define where the dealer’s identity appears on packaging and relevant customer-facing documentation, while required manufacturer and traceability information is retained.
Is there a fixed minimum order or published mobile-home lead time?
Mobile log homes are glulam or project-led work. Quantity, specification, production planning and timing are qualified and confirmed in the written quotation and order; this page does not promise a blanket minimum order or factory lead time.
Who handles transport, siting and installation?
The confirmed Incoterm and written order allocate logistics responsibilities. EXW from Kaunas is Eurodita’s standard factory-release basis. The dealer, buyer or appointed project parties normally coordinate local access, unloading, positioning, site works, services, installation and handover unless another scope is agreed in writing.
What should be included in the first B2B enquiry?
Provide the company and market, target customer, intended use, destination, layouts or dimensions, quantity, available drawings, specification and documentation needs, branding scope, target factory-release window, logistics plan and the parties responsible for installation and aftersales.
Turn a dealership idea into a reviewable B2B brief
Start with the customer, use, site route and responsibility split. Eurodita can then assess the appropriate mobile log-home range, private-label scope and quotation inputs without relying on generic financial or compliance promises.
