We're back at Rot Resort to see the new mobile home models and prices from 2023

The growing interest in mobile homes has led us to return to the Rot Resort. We wanted to see what they've been up to since our last meetingWhat new models have appeared, how prices have evolved. We also wanted to know the answers to a number of questions we had from you. Andrei Rotaru greeted us with the same openness and relaxed manner, showed us the latest models, told us about the team's evolution and answered our questions. You'll find this discussion in the new video at the end of the article. Find out what you can't see in the video below.

A tight-knit team with a committed boss

Andrei is easy to talk to because he is open, cheerful and direct. He jokes a lot, laughs a lot, but gets serious when he talks about important things, about the company, about people. He has a close-knit team that he appreciates and is appreciated by his employees. He forms a big family with the employees and their families and they meet whenever they have the chance. When I told him how much I appreciate such companies, he showed me the photos from their last meeting just a few days ago. It was a Friday and suddenly, at noon, they decided to cut a pig together and have a barbecue. They were all there, including the kids and they were obviously having a good time.

Things are going well and he has been hiring lately. When I ask him how he deals with skilled labor, he tells me that, first and foremost, he's interested in making sure that the person who wants to get a job wants to work and learn. "If he wants to work, I'll find a place for him." He asks them to be fair, to work well and pays them accordingly. He tells me that they can't do a good job if they're not quiet. And peace of mind comes from the security of tomorrow, from not worrying about the family's welfare.

He's careful that his cheerfulness is not taken as insincerity. At one point, when we were talking about the mobile home questions, I mentioned to a reader that, being too casual and cheerful, he seemed not to care what others thought. As a result he made a point during the interview to drop the joking and smiling, despite my insistence that he be his usual self.

Demand has increased and diversified

Even without telling us, it was obvious that things had gone well since our last meeting. New house models have appeared, there is a new production facility, even the offices have been renovated and improved. The section in the middle of the showroom has become too small for the volume of work and is to be enlarged.

New models have emerged in response to increasingly diversified demands. As well as those from private individuals, there are many from real estate developers, tourism investors, even entrepreneurs needing accommodation for workers brought in from abroad. These are special requests, but they have the capacity to adapt. As long as the demand is realistic, solutions are found to meet it.

Rising energy prices have also had an impact. There is a mobile home model with photovoltaic panels. Andrei says it's one of the most difficult models and it's hard to keep a decent price for the house because the price of the panels has exploded. There is also the problem of delivery delays which also forces him to give longer delivery times. But it's what customers want and he has to adapt. He's built a showroom like this.

Among the new models are houses with a distinctive, more "other" design, houses with an integrated terrace or with bedrooms with bunk beds. To increase durability over time, many models have replaced wood cladding with sliding sheet metal.

Zalău brandy

Andrei is a pleasant interlocutor and the conversation would certainly have lasted longer if we hadn't had to leave. Dorin Văideanu was waiting for us this afternoon in Coșna and I promised him we'd get there in good time. We were already running late and were in a hurry to say goodbye when Andrei remembered that he had forgotten to give us some of his homemade marmalade. He disappeared immediately, before he heard our protests, and appeared with the bottles on which three plums stood proudly, along with the Rot Resort phone numbers. He assured us that it was his homemade brandy for his family, team and customers. How can you say no to that!!!? Especially when you are just a stone's throw away from Zalău, whose reputation in the field is well known and recognized 🙂
