If your home in Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Diamondhead, and unincorporated Hancock County is not livable after Isaias, you may be able to stay on your own property while it is repaired. We deliver a furnished travel trailer to your driveway or yard, set it up, have it connected, and service it for the whole stay. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly.
Local rules. Waveland allows one RV on the lot while a home is built, by temporary conditional use; Bay St. Louis and Hancock County do not allow RVs as dwellings outside parks, and Diamondhead has no standing rule, so check with the city or county. Each rule is linked to its official source below.
Housing a crew? No jurisdiction we checked in Hancock County lets a crew live in RVs on a job site; Bay St. Louis and Waveland require council or board approval for any dwelling trailer tied to a construction project. Crew rules and housing

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 Hancock 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 Mississippi 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 Hancock 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 Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Diamondhead, and unincorporated Hancock 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.
Ask the city, or Hancock County Planning and Zoning outside city limits, 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 Hancock 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.

Waveland's code lets an owner apply for a Temporary Conditional Use to live in one RV on the lot while a permanent home is built, approved by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen after Planning and Zoning review, for up to 180 days with one more 180-day request. It requires a current building permit, an inspected foundation, an RV evacuation plan for named storms, and a road-ready RV.
Bay St. Louis' zoning ordinance says no RV may be used as a dwelling, and its emergency occupancy provision covers manufactured homes, not RVs. Ask the Building Department at 228-469-0531 before delivery.
Not under any rule we found. Bay St. Louis says no RV may be used as a dwelling, and Waveland limits living in an RV during construction to the owner building a home. Both require council or board approval for any dwelling trailer tied to a construction project, and Hancock County limits RV use to RV parks. Ask the city or county before delivery.
No standing Diamondhead rule for living in an RV during storm repairs was found, so check with the Building Department. Hancock County's RV Park Ordinance says RV use outside an RV park is not allowed, and no storm exception was found, so call Planning and Zoning at 228-467-4157.
We deliver, set up, and service trailers nationwide, and have since 2004. Put the Hancock 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 Hancock 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.
