Question
Thanks much for your quick response!  I want to sell it to my friend who live in S.Ca (Orange County area) and I don't know if it is possible to find a park with available for double wide space. That's why I would like to know the cost of moving this home first.  If it sounds like reasonable then I will start to look for the space down in S.CA.  Thanks and hope you will give me a good suggestion.

Would you please give me name(s) of contractor that can handle the move for my 6 years old manufactured home from Northern Ca to So. CA.  Thanks!

Hi Jackie,

We use Hanna Trucking for our moves in So. Cal.  Don't know if they are state wide, #951-924-8863.

I have to tell you that this sort of move is usually NOT cost effective.
Questions I would have for you are is the home in a park on leased land? Do you have a space down here already?  Do you know the value of the home as it is, where it is?
What part of So. Cal., as spaces are rare around here where I am!   Hope this helps, write back if I can do something for you...."~ Michael

Answer
Hi Jackie...give Hanna a call.  Whether they would do it or not....they could give you an idea by mileage and setup costs.

Bad news is that companies like mine and my competitors have people out looking for spaces every day to put new homes on....parks very rarely will accept used homes coming in. I know that's not what you want to hear, but
the reality of it all would be that you will leave it where it is, and try to get top dollar....I'll explain that procedure if you decide to do that.    "~ M
