Move Preparation
 
Prepare for Your Move

Availability - If transporting to a Mobile Park/Community - ensure the lot is the proper size for your home.

Age of Home - ensure the home is not too old to transport.

Removed Items - Pictures, mirrors from walls, window air conditioners and flower boxes, TV antenna, loose furniture needs to be secure, etc...

Empty - Defrost and thoroughly wash the inside of your refrigerator and freezer.  Appliances need at least two days to dry keep mildew to a minimum while in transit or in storage.  It was never designed to support extra weight while moving so it should be emptied completely.  That means the water heater and toilets should be drained too.  It will be a rough  ride so take off the toilet tank lids, strap the  refrigerator and range in place, tape doors closed, tape drawers closed etc.  

Valuables - remove items such as; Important Documents, Money, Jewelry, Furs, Bonds, Certificates or Securities, Personal or Business Papers, Safes, Guns, etc...

Furniture - place loose furniture forward of the axles and secure. Taping large glass surfaces will help to reduce the possibility of damage, pack and secure all accessories, etc...
