Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-11-.12 - Exemptions
To further clarify the modular rules and regulations adopted by the Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission, and make more specific Rule 535-X-11, the Commission defines a vehicle as follows:
(a) "Any device or structure on wheels or
runners for the purpose of carrying, conveying, or moving such device or
structure from one location to another location."
(b) In order for a vehicle to be exempt from
the rules and regulations adopted and set forth by the Commission, (Rule
535-X-11) the vehicle must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Not require a moving permit from the State
of Alabama Highway Department.
2.
Be designed for living, sleeping, cooking and eating.
3. Be designed to be towed by another motor
vehicle.
4. Be 8'6" or less in
width, measured horizontally at the widest projection on the outside of the
vehicle.
5. May be approved and
issued a label of approval by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association
(RVIA). Such label must be permanently affixed to the vehicle.
(c) Vehicles meeting all the above
named criteria are not considered to be dwelling units or manufactured
buildings, and are exempt from regulation by the Alabama Manufactured Housing
Commission. Also, any vehicle that it considered to be a motor home is
exempt.
(d) Being more specific to
Rule 535-X-11, a park trailer (park model) as defined by the American National
Standards Institute, (ANSI A119.5) is not exempt from the Manufactured Building
Act (No. 81-706) Code of Ala. 1975, as amended.
However, ANSI A119.5 is an optional standard to the codes mentioned in Rule
535-X-11-.03 of
this chapter for park models. In an RV Park, park models may be
installed/set-up to the same standard as a travel trailer. When not in an RV
Park, the manufacturer's approved installation instructions must be complied
with.
