In a park the water tank won’t matter. You will hook it up to water, sewer and power. If you were towing it you would probably need a bigger truck, shocks, springs and to decide if you also wanted to haul a boat.
Look at used mobiles in parks they are very inexpensive. You risk the park being closed and having to move but you might live for years for almost nothing.
Also look at weatherproofing and consider the cost of skirting, porches and gutters.
A clear title.
Every type of recreational vehicle can be purchased new or used. Some things to consider before purchasing are whether you have or will have a vehicle suitable for towing a recreational vehicle, or whether you would prefer to own a motorized recreational vehicle solely for travel. Sleeping and storage capacities, as well as amenities like kitchens, baths and storage, should also be considered. Before purchasing an RV new or used, check for weight limits and the RVIA seal, which is prominently displayed on the outside of every recreational vehicle made by an RVIA member manufacturer.
