Is a mobile home a trailer or vehicle?

In Farr v. Moore (Township), 1978 CanLII 29 (SCC), [1978] 2 S.C.R. 504, Spence J. held that a mobile home that had been brought to a site by truck, had its wheels removed, was set on blocks or pillars upon which it rested by its own weight, and was connected to service hookups was not a “trailer” or “vehicle”. Justice Spence used words including “structure”, “thing” and “empty hulk of a residence” to describe a mobile home, and at page 508, held that it was more in the nature of a residence than a mobile conveyance, as “the purpose of the apparatus, and it is quite apparent from the evidence, was that it should be hauled quite empty to a site and there placed on the site and used, not for the conveyance of persons or goods, but for the installation of goods, to wit, furniture, and the residence of people.”
