size of your mobile home is within specified limits.
Some manufacturers advertise a mobile home to be 12
feet wide when it is actually 12 feet 1 inch wide. That
extra inch may mean transporting your trailer through
certain states is illegal.
Despite the best precautions, loss or damage to
your personal property may occur. If you have basis
for a claim, contact your transportation officer
promptly. The transportation officer will, if possible,
provide an inspector to verify the loss or damage and
assist you in making your claim.
At the time of your premove interview, be sure to
ask for detailed information on the following
subjects:
Preference of carriers
Requirements for movers at both origin and
destination
Claims procedures for loss or damage
Government claim coverage of $25,000 and
how the coverage compares to commercial
insurance
MOVE YOURSELF
You may move yourself within CONUS under the
Navy’s Move Yourself Program.
This program is
commonly referred to as a DITY (do it yourself)
move. You may choose to use a rental truck or trailer
and packing materials obtained by the Personal
Property Office. You may also choose to use your
own trailer to move your property. The more you
know and understand about the program, the
smoother your move will be. Contact your Personal
Property Office for assistance in arranging for this
type of move.
