Single-wide and double-wide homes
Updated October 28, 2026
Estimate the cost to move a manufactured or mobile home. Enter the home size, transport distance and services you expect to need. This calculator gives a planning range—not a mover quote—because permits, route restrictions, site access and setup requirements can change the final price substantially.
Planning estimate only. It does not include every possible permit, utility, structural repair, crane, road modification, land, foundation or local regulatory cost. Get written quotes from properly qualified mobile/manufactured-home transporters before making a financial decision.
How Much Does It Cost to Move a Mobile Home?
The cost can vary widely. A short, straightforward single-wide move can cost far less than relocating a double- or triple-wide home across a long distance. The number of sections, mileage, permits, escorts, preparation, utility disconnection, setup and site conditions all affect the final price.
What Changes the Cost of Moving a Trailer House?
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Home size | Double- and triple-wide homes are transported in multiple sections and generally require more labor and equipment. |
| Distance | Longer moves add driving time, fuel and logistical costs. |
| Permits and route | Oversize loads may require permits, approved routes, escorts or additional restrictions. |
| Preparation | Skirting, decks, porches, utility connections and other attachments may need removal or preparation. |
| New-site setup | Leveling, blocking, anchoring, reconnecting sections and related work can materially increase the total. |
| Access | Tight roads, trees, slopes, soft ground and difficult placement can require extra labor or specialized equipment. |
Mobile Home Moving Cost Calculator: How the Estimate Works
The calculator combines a planning allowance for the home’s number of transport sections with distance and selected service complexity. It then returns a range rather than a single number to reflect uncertainty. The estimate is intended for early budgeting and comparing scenarios, not replacing an on-site inspection or written professional quote.
Before You Move a Mobile or Manufactured Home
Confirm that the home can legally and safely be relocated, check requirements at both the origin and destination, and ask prospective transporters what is included in their price. Clarify responsibility for permits, escorts, utility disconnection and reconnection, site preparation, foundation work, insurance and damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move a mobile home 50 miles?
There is no universal price. Home size and service scope can change the total dramatically even at the same distance. Use the calculator above for a planning range and obtain local written quotes for the actual move.
Is a double-wide more expensive to move?
Usually. A double-wide is generally separated and transported as multiple sections, increasing equipment, labor and logistical requirements compared with many single-wide moves.
Can any moving company move a mobile home?
No. Moving a manufactured home is specialized transportation work and may involve licensing, permits, oversize-load rules and specialized equipment. Verify the requirements for your move and the provider’s qualifications.
Can an older mobile home be moved?
Possibly, but age, condition, construction, local rules and destination requirements can affect whether relocation is practical or permitted. A qualified professional should inspect the home before you commit to the move.
