If your home in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and unincorporated Baldwin County is not livable after Isaias, you may be able to stay on your own property while it is repaired.

Whether a trailer can stay on your lot is decided by your city, or by the county outside city limits, and by your HOA if you have one. Here is what each one’s own code or official page says, in short. Our parent brand covers the residential RV rules for Baldwin County in detail.
That depends on your policy and your adjuster. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly, so you are not fronting the cost. Our parent brand explains the claim side on 1st Choice Living’s Alabama page. Once the placement is arranged, the trailer, delivery, and service are ours.
Every size arrives furnished, with real beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air conditioning. More on a trailer on your property while you rebuild.
We work with any temporary housing company. If one is handling your housing, ask them to place you with Temporary RV Living, or with our parent brand, 1st Choice Living, for a trailer on your own lot in Baldwin County. They send us the placement, and we deliver, set up, and service the trailer.
For restoration, roofing, tree, utility, and response crews working in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and unincorporated Baldwin County. Bring the housing to the work. We deliver travel trailers to the site, or as close as the ground allows, and set up and connect them the same way we do in a driveway. A two-person crew fits one trailer. A full crew takes a cluster, and the Workforce Bunkhouse sleeps six or more per trailer, with a kitchen and a bathroom the crew shares. One point of contact runs the placement, it lands on one invoice billed directly to the company, and we handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.
The County Commission’s special temporary permit after a disaster is the closest route to crew housing we found in Baldwin County. Ask the city or county what it will permit for the site before delivery. More on crew housing.
Water, sewer or septic, and electrical connections are completed by licensed, insured contractors from our preferred vendor network, so you do not hire an electrician or a plumber. We look at how far the trailer will sit from the water, sewer, and power it will use, and confirm the site with you on the call before the trailer rolls.
Electric service in Baldwin County comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage and storm updates.
Call the office for the city where the trailer will sit, or the county office outside city limits. Ask whether a travel trailer may be used there, for how long, and which permits the hookups need.

Orange Beach lets a homeowner live in an RV for up to 6 months while building or rebuilding, with Community Development approval, an active building permit, water and sewer hookups, and city garbage service, plus one extension of up to 6 months. In Gulf Shores an RV needs a temporary permit from the City Council or its designee, and after a hurricane the Council may grant special temporary permits on its own conditions.
In zoned districts, the occupant of a home made uninhabitable by a disaster may live in an RV on the same parcel for up to 18 months from the date of damage. It needs an approved site plan from Baldwin County Planning and Zoning, applied for within 12 months, a road-ready RV with a current tag, and a connection to a permitted sewage system.
Not under any rule we found. Orange Beach bars living in an RV outside RV and mobile home parks, Gulf Shores and Fairhope bar sleeping in a camper overnight outside parks, and Spanish Fort says construction trailers may not be occupied as a dwelling. After a disaster the County Commission may grant special temporary permits for a temporary building or use, so ask the city or county what it will permit before delivery.
Their codes do not offer a storm or rebuilding exception. Foley allows RV living on a residential lot only by guests for up to 14 days a year, Fairhope bars sleeping in a camper overnight outside parks except up to 14 days on a lot with an occupied house, and Daphne bars living in a travel trailer outside an RV park. Ask the city before delivery.
We deliver, set up, and service trailers nationwide, and have since 2004. Put the Baldwin County address in the request form and we confirm the site with you on the call. Plan a delivery into an evacuated area only once local officials, including the Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency, say it is safe to return.
Official pages and official code hosts, checked October 9, 2026. Rules can change after a storm; the office that wrote the rule has the final word.
