Kentucky makes things relatively simple for Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOWs) and park model homes. Park models are classified as RVs, and every Zook Cabins model is RVIA-certified and built to ANSI A119.5 standards, credentials recognized statewide. That means they’re welcome in many of Kentucky’s RV resorts, campgrounds, and retirement communities. Local zoning can still vary, but park models often face fewer hurdles than foundation-built tiny homes. For more details, see our complete guide to Tiny Home Regulations in Kentucky.
Our park model tiny homes come in a variety of designs and layouts to suit your lifestyle. Hear from our designers how the A-Frame park model came to life and how it’s interior and exterior features make tiny living in Kentucky possible.
With hot, humid summers and cold winters in parts of the state, Zook’s park models come insulated and sealed to maintain comfort across extremes from the Bluegrass to the Eastern hills.
Easier Placement in Recreational Zones
Because park models are treated as RVs in many places, they often bypass stricter residential code demands, particularly in counties with recreational or rural zoning.
Versatile as Retreats or Residences
Use your park model as a weekend getaway near lakes and forests, or even a primary home if your county allows it. It offers built-in flexibility.
Connect to Natural Beauty
Kentucky’s rolling hills, riverbanks, forests, and proximity to national forests and state parks make park models ideal for living close to nature without full-scale construction.

Possibly, it depends on where you plan to place it. In Kentucky, park models are classified as RVs, so they’re typically used in RV parks or campgrounds. Some areas may allow seasonal or limited placement on private property with local approval. For details, see our Tiny Home Regulations in Kentucky, and always check your community’s zoning office before setting up full-time living.
A park model tiny home is designed and built like an RV, which means it’s easier to move and place in RV parks or campgrounds. A traditional tiny home, on the other hand, is built on a foundation and follows residential building codes like a traditional house. See our article Park Models vs. Tiny Homes for a closer look at how they compare.
