But can you name a single licensed 'Mobile Home Park' in Hawaii?
Failure to approve a mobile home park does not automatically make the mobile home illegal.
can never be used more than 30 days at a time
Cannot be parked in the same location for more than 30 days at a time. (Yes, assumes enforcement.)
construction is approved by the State Architect, as it meets all Building Codes
Yes: there is extensive code language about how and where a manufactured home may be installed.
Like so many things here, someone made sure the cost/benefit doesn't pencil out.

In the same light, I have had many enquires about my used mobile home axles Im selling for people that are putting there little houses on wheels. Maybe they are being proactive?

People who "failed to perform own due diligence".
Leave it parked, it's a "building". Unless it's really a mobile home, in which case it must move at least once every 30 days.

"it must move at least once every 30 days."
Is there a condition as to how far it needs to be moved? Point being, can you just roll it 10' to the left and then one month later move it 10' to the right?

Without digging through HCC, I can only guess that there's a ceiling height requirement -- I've seen this in other jurisdictions, where the square footage calculation only includes interior portions of the house with ceilings higher than 7'6", lower ceilings are "allowable" but can't be used as "living space".
There is a shipping container home that is permitted. Four, forty foot ones stacked to make a two story square.
Here on Hawaii Island? Where? Hard to understand how that would get through our Building department.

Technically, 6-28(2) aka 25-4-10(2) says "less than thirty days in any one location".
Realistically, the Code doesn't really matter, because the County may interpret the words as they see fit, up to declining to prosecute, at their discetion.
Bonus round: how about a few of us call the Building Department and ask what rules apply to a mobile home, then post back the answers. I'll bet Ruggles' paycheck that no two are alike.

I would call both Hilo and Kona. Two different offices, two very different applications of the 'guidelines'.
Wait, how is Ruggles getting a pay check?

Sorry, can you clarify. Is there such a home here, in place, if so where.
