Coverage Built for the Park Communities You Call Home Each Winter
Across more than 260 preferred park communities in south Texas, Winter Texans have trusted us to protect their manufactured homes, park models, and stationary fifth wheels for over 35 years.
We Know These Parks Because We've Been in Them
We don't write park community insurance from a distance. We show up in person, present at community meetings, and talk with residents face to face. When you call us, you're talking to people who understand how these communities work — the seasonal timing, the vacancy questions, the difference between a park model and a manufactured home, and why standard homeowners policies don't fit either one.
That familiarity isn't a marketing line. It's what makes the coverage we place for park community residents actually fit.
What Coverage Looks Like Inside a South Texas Park Community
Insurance for manufactured home in south Texas park community settings isn't a single product — it depends on what you own and how you use it. We write policies across all three primary structures found in the preferred parks:
Manufactured Home Insurance
A manufactured home in a south Texas park is typically a second home — not your primary Texas residence. That changes the policy structure. We account for seasonal occupancy, vacancy periods between visits, and the specific risks that come with leaving a home unattended for months at a time.
Park Model Insurance
Park models occupy a unique category that most general insurance agents misread. They're built on a chassis but placed permanently — with skirting, tie-downs, and utility hookups that make them function as a home, not a vehicle. We represent every carrier licensed to write park model insurance in Texas, so we can match your structure to the right policy rather than forcing it into the wrong one.
Stationary Fifth Wheel Insurance
A fifth wheel that's been tied down, skirted, and connected to utilities is a different animal than a travel trailer. We write these as homeowner's policies — not auto or RV policies — which is the correct treatment for a structure used as a permanent seasonal residence. If you've been insuring yours the wrong way, we can fix that.

Common Questions from Park Community Residents
Do I need a different policy because my home is in a park community rather than on my own land?
Not necessarily — but the policy does need to account for your actual use. If this is a seasonal second home, vacancy periods and seasonal occupancy clauses matter. A standard homeowners policy written for a primary residence won't reflect that correctly. We write policies that match how park community residents actually live.
What's the difference between park model insurance and manufactured home insurance in south Texas?
Park models are built on a chassis and classified differently than manufactured homes under HUD standards — they're typically under 400 square feet and designed for seasonal use. The insurance products that cover them are distinct. We write both and can tell you quickly which policy applies to your structure.
Can I get coverage if my park model or manufactured home is older?
Yes. Older structures are one of our areas of focus. Because we represent multiple carriers, we have access to markets that will write coverage on homes that a single-carrier agency might turn away. Age alone rarely disqualifies a home — condition and accurate underwriting information matter more.
What if I already have a policy through my park or a discount club?
Group or club policies are often written to minimum standards and may not reflect the actual replacement value of your home or its contents. We review what you have and tell you honestly whether it's adequate — there's no obligation to switch.
Do you cover residents in park communities outside of Hidalgo and Cameron County?
We're licensed throughout Texas. If you have a manufactured home, park model, or stationary fifth wheel in a south Texas park community, contact us and we'll confirm coverage availability for your location.
What carriers do you work with for winter Texan coverage?
We represent all carriers licensed to write manufactured housing and park model insurance in Texas, including American Modern. Because we're not tied to a single carrier, we can compare options and find the policy that fits your home, your community, and your seasonal schedule.
Get a Quote Before the Season Starts
The right time to review your park community coverage is before you arrive for the season — not after a storm, a vacancy issue, or a claim surfaces. We make the quote process straightforward: tell us what you have, where it is, and how you use it, and we'll get you options from the carriers that fit.
