Does a mobile home need a cement pad to sit on?

Does a mobile home need a cement pad to sit on?

I am putting in a small 12'x60' mobile home on the new property I just bought, to use as an office for my farm. Would I need to put a cement pad in for the home to sit on? Would it need to be the complete size of the mobile home i.e 12x60 or could I use smaller pads just where the wheels are going to sit?

You do not need a full pad, but you do need what are called piers. They are tubular structures, in the ground, down to the frost line. Holes are augered, and then cardboard concrete tubes are placed in, and they are filled with cement. These are what the blocks are placed on, and then the house. They are necessary to avoid ground shift during cold weather.
As far as the placement of ANY blocking, contact the manufacturer of your home and give them the serial number. They can fax you a "pier plan". This will tell you where to place the piers.

Yes, you can also use a full pad. Just contact a manufactured home set crew, and they will tell you what size it needs to be.

You will still need a pier plan for proper placement of blocks. If you don't use one, be prepared for sagging floors, doors that won't open, doors that won't close, etc.
