Mobile homes shall be eligible for coverage provided they are anchored to the ground or are mounted upon a foundation and are connected to water, sewer, and electrical utilities and the home was installed according to local codes in effect at the time the structure was installed and/or constructed.
(a) The anchorage's capacity must prevent uplifting and overturning due to wind or seismic activity. Screw-in soil anchors are not considered a permanent anchorage.
(b) The anchorage must be attached to a footing sufficiently sized to prevent overloading of the soil-bearing capacity and which also avoids soil settlement. The footing shall be reinforced concrete to be considered permanent.
(c) The base of the footing must extend below the maximum frost penetration depth for the area.
(d) The foundation must enclose a crawl space with a continuous wall (whether bearing or non-bearing) that separates the crawl space from the backfill, and prohibits vermin and water from entering the enclosed area.
(e) The anchorage must have sufficient capacity in both the transverse and longitudinal directions to prevent sliding due to wind and/or seismic activity.
