Publishing a Park for Sale Ad

In this article you will learn two methods of publishing your Parks for Sale Ad. You will also learn about the integrations between our My Parks and Park Sites solutions, when you choose to publish a Park for Sale Ad.

Overview

MHParks.com offers two methods to publish your Park for Sale Ad. You can choose to publish the advertisement immediately while you are creating it, or save the advertisement and publish it at a later date.

While your advertisement is published, MHParks.com also ensures that the park's information you provide within your advertisement is protected as other members interact with it in our Park Sites and My Parks solutions. This is accomplished by disabling the edit option within those solutions.

Once you publish your advertisement, the park's information will only be able to be edited from within the wizard of your park's advertisement until the ad has completed it's publishing period.
