    Ideas on anchoring small mobile home on lease

    Awhile back i took a small travel trailer down to the frame and rebuilt, in essence, a small (7' wide, x 8' tall, x 13' long) mobile home on the frame. Got it moved to the lease, etc. Before i got it anchored the wind blew it over 270 degrees. I had it uprighted last week. Some damage to one small wall section, fascia, and soffit, and some misc interior damage but nothing that can't be repaired.

    Needless to say, i want to get it reset and anchored asap. Any ideas on relatively inexpensive anchoring system. I don't have tools to screw flanged anchors into the ground, etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks ~

    Did you have the corners blocked up?

      Google mobile home rock anchors. They work okay in dirt but you can hammer them in with a small sledge.

        Corners were blocked, leveled, etc. I made a stupid mistake of orienting it perpendicular to the north wind in Wilbarger County. I didn't anchor it when we set it. "We'll do that on the next trip". Lessons learned.

          I used 4 sand augers on my 31' travel trailer. Dug holes with post hole digger and set augers in concrete at each corner. Attached to rear bumper and tongue with chain. Never had a problem.

            Holes on angles?

              May be the ticket.
