While the state of North Dakota does not maintain a uniform, statewide regulatory framework for tiny homes on foundations, local zoning and building code requirements can vary significantly by county or municipality. Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOWs), and park model homes, like those built by Zook Cabins, are RVIA-certified and built to ANSI A119.5 standards recognized nationwide. These homes are classified and regulated similarly to recreational vehicles, which often allows for placement in RV parks, campgrounds, or rural zones where traditional residential code compliance may be more complex. While placement still depends on local zoning, our park models simplify the process.
Ready to experience tiny living without giving up comfort? Our park model homes are built to fit your lifestyle, with thoughtful floor plans and styles that make every square foot count. Step inside the A-frame park model and see how cozy design meets smart functionality. You’ll be surprised by just how spacious “tiny” it can feel!
With hot summers and frigid winters (including heavy snow and strong winds), Zook’s park models come insulated and sealed to maintain comfort through the seasons.
Easier Placement in Recreational Zones
Because park models are classified as RVs in many jurisdictions, they often bypass stricter residential code demands and are easier to place in RV parks, campgrounds or rural recreational zones.
Versatile as Retreats
Your park model can serve as the perfect weekend hideaway or seasonal escape, offering a comfortable, low-maintenance way to relax and recharge. Its flexibility also makes it a great option for longer stays in the Peace Garden State.
Connect to Natural Beauty
North Dakota features vast prairies, lakes, river valleys, and national park terrain. A park model tiny home gives you the chance to live near nature in a streamlined, comfortable layout.

Living in a park model home depends entirely on the county or municipality where you plan to place it. Many areas allow park models when placed in licensed RV parks or campgrounds, while others may not permit full-time residential use of RV-classified units. Read our article, Tiny Home Regulations in North Dakota, for more information.
A traditional tiny home is typically built on a permanent foundation and must follow full residential building codes. A park model is built on wheels or a chassis, certified as an RV (typically under ANSI A119.5) and therefore often falls under RV zoning and park regulations.
Yes, in most cases. Even though a park model may be easier to place than a foundation-built home, you’ll still need to check local zoning and permitting rules, especially utility hookups, code compliance, and RV park licensing. For example, RV parks and campgrounds must be licensed under North Dakota law. For more on regulations, read our article Tiny Home Regulations in North Dakota.
