The rule covers the integrity of body framing, roofing, insulation, chassis components, hitches, axles, and placement on stands, requiring that each element be built and maintained to handle the loads and environmental conditions it will face. Insulation and roof deck materials must be noncombustible, ventilation must be adequate to prevent moisture damage, and the home must be secured in a fixed position once placed on its stand.

Operators and owners of mobile home parks in Palmyra should be familiar with § 121-11, which sets out the structural benchmarks that mobile homes on their properties are expected to meet. Compliant operators generally verify that units placed on stands have sound body framing, weathertight roofs, properly rated chassis and axle assemblies, and noncombustible insulation before allowing occupancy. Maintaining records of inspections and ensuring that placement by jacks or supports results in a fixed, stable position are practices consistent with the requirements of this section.
