Before you buy: site compliance checklist
The park model RV pathway certifies the unit — it does not grant the right to place the unit on any particular piece of land. Certification and placement are two separate approvals with two different owners:
| Stage | What happens | Who owns it |
|---|---|---|
| Factory production | Unit built to the ANSI A119.5 park model standard, with third-party inspection during production. | KyangLab |
| Certification documents | Certification and specification documents provided with the unit for your local review. | KyangLab |
| Placement approval | Zoning check and placement permission for a park model RV on your specific parcel. | You + your city/county planning department |
| Utility connections | Water, sewer/septic and electrical hookup permits. | You + local licensed trades |
Three questions to ask your planning department first
Take the spec sheet for this model and ask your city or county planning department these questions before committing to a purchase:
- 1“Does your zoning ordinance allow placement of a Park Model RV (ANSI A119.5) on this parcel?”
- 2“What permits are required for utility hookups (water, sewer or septic, electrical)?”
- 3“Are there occupancy limits — for example, a cap on how many days per year the unit can be lived in?”
One more thing to know: a park model unit is legally a vehicle and must retain its mobility. If it is installed on a permanent foundation, your jurisdiction may reclassify it as a dwelling and apply full building standards instead. We will flag this trade-off with you during the site feasibility review.
