Mobile homes are different from the conventional home in configuration, structure, arrangement and cost. About 55 % of all mobile home owners live in some type of mobile home park. The concept and design criteria of solar thermal systems for a single mobile home or for the entire mobile home park are somewhat different from those required for a conventional home or subdivision. This paper presents these unique characteristics of the mobile home and the mobile home park and community. The impacts of these unique characteristics on the design/selection of the solar space heating/cooling, domestic hot water heating systems are discussed. A typical mobile home park is selected for investigation of the solar system for four representative climatic regions (cool, temperate, hot-humid and hot-arid) of this country. Several design concepts are presented. An economic feasibility study of using solar thermal systems in a mobile home park and community is discussed. (DePo)
