As a fellow truck driver, I haul fuel and it's a PITA getting into some our stores. Salute to this crew 💪

And your "home" has no equity and depreciates in value each year. After maybe 10 years, your bug-infested cardboard home will be fodder for a bulldozer as it will need to be replaced.

nurse lori it is a trailer for god's sakes. Very dangerous during storms and are fire traps.

Any home can *depreciate* due to age, damage, and neighborhood. Stop the madness! Most often it's the acreage and area you're paying for anyway.

Ms. Cross look it up. A mobile home depreciates as quickly as an automobile. And you cannot deny the fact that very few stick built homes depreciate in value. Even in less than desireable areas, the land will eventually be valuable for gentrification, highways, etc. a mobile home is a piece of crap and and the sales people are not telling the whole truth. I bet these hucksters would not live in what they sale. And the way they go on about how gorgeous they are is hilarious. To me, my home is what I call gorgeous, open, airy with beautiful coastal views, top line appliances and real hardwoods. And the mobile homes or whatever they are calling them now on our coast were mostly twisted metal during last fall's hurricane. And the winds were 150 mph and under. These so called homes did not hold up to the wind speed the sales people and manufacturers say they do.

@@pce-sz1gi - To me, you sound what I call snooty, judgemental and just not a nice person. 😡 The mobile homes I'm looking at are definitely not depreciating and they're not made like they were years ago. So, quit being so judgemental and remember, that coastal view and your top of the line appliances can all be gone tomorrow. Then where will you be? 🤔

What company is this

Mobile h ome light switch

moo cow Good for you Brother.

I am so happy for you what a beautiful place and home enjoy enjoy this part of your life your retirement this is your time to enjoy I'm happy for you

It looks really nice😍

This is a manufactured home. Modular is placed on a foundation. This home was still left with it wheel frame so it is a mobile aka manufactured home not a modular home.

Was the crane service very expensive?

A modular home is a home that is brought in from a factory and placed on a permanent foundation. A modular home typically cost more because it has to come off the trailer is it moved with and because of that it has to be made with 2x8 instead of 2x6 construction. A manufactured home is made with 2x6s and stays on the trailer it is moved with usually some sort of decorative stone is put around the bottom to hide the trailer part.

Ours by comparison is a modest 1500 sq ft home. Ideal for my wife and me in retirement. Thanks for the info!

We are retire also and retired from NJ to VA .I watched my house being set and was amazed at the work involved .I would do it again also .I know my house can do 60 down the road and not subjected to weather conditions in the build that it will last .Plus no over run costs a flat price and no hassles .My biggest things was the well and septic tank Congrats to you both and a long future in your home

Peter Klopp how much did you paid for 1500 sft.?

I was lucky my modular after discounts and my own plan was 89 thousand and set with 2 cranes on my basement .They gave me a bonus because I paid cash .It is a 2440 sq. ft 2x6 stud wall house .I also left it on frame for stiffer floors and also had it built with no flooring since I wanted to put in the flooring I wanted in the house .The decorator from norris homes did all my curtains for the house and that included the blinds .I also have 2 sets of sliding glass doors .

Sissy yu got great value for 2440 square feet.....!!! Could never do that in san jose!!

Haha I thought the same thing. I have a lot of respect for people who do this job.

Yeah but if you take good care of it and keep up with it it can last even more. No matter what is still a house. Just like those built houses that people don't keep up with it of course it's going to rot right

You obviously haven’t looked at builds for them or site built homes. My husband is a plumber and the specs and materials are exact same as a site built home except for those homes that are built on a slab foundation.

FoghornLeghornism. You are correct.

Nailed it! I was gonna state the same but seen it's already been done.

F

You are 💯 percent correct!!!! I hate how some dealers/builders try to say they are something that they are not.

Basically what I explained above. You did bettet.

So funny, yet sad because it's true.

My guess is that it is the responsibility of the trucking company. They would have the insurance to deal with the damage.

Camper Hollow It's a specifically designed dolly made to clamp to the steel I beams. A real modular home arrives on site via a flatbed trailer. The modules are then lifted off by a crane and set into place. Manufactured, aka mobile, homes like this are towed to the site and either have their Axel's removed or, as in this example, a specifically designed dolly is used. These dollies are becoming more and more the norm. Rather than the exception. The reason for this is due to failulres resulting from cheap single use axels, hubs and tires that tend to fail during travel. The main primary cause of failue are a result of uneven weight, road conditions, extended travel, and poor quality.

On and on what YOU DOONT SEE!

bones007able Hi, please share the manufacturer and if you are happy with your home?

Well, we had from the old house sewage and water on the same site. Of course, we had to hire a plumber to make all the connections and also an electrician to connect us to power.

EricaYE6 🙋just wanna say..."yu are beautiful Erica😍

95% of these homes don't have one. You yourself can hire someone to put one down.

Endlich kann ich Danke sagen, Jeannette.

Price for this homes?

An looks like they put it in a trailer park so they don't own the land unless I am wrong an if you don't own the land to me that sucks I wouldn't want that I also would have sat it on a cement slab

Yes!

Yrene Cedeno it’s just temporary till they level it with blocks.

Odd...I would only buy one on a concrete foundation

Not true. Modular homes can be set on a dirt pad, concrete slab, raised foundation, or even a full foundation with basement. Mobile homes have a steel chassis. All others do not. That's the big difference.

The setup as shown on the video is included in the price of the home. Electrical, sewage, water hookup are additional costs.

Chris Craft dude im in the middle of moving my double wide in right now and the total price im paying is $126,000

DP 63 Your statement saddens me! So many people can’t afford housing including vets and seniors, and manufactured homes may be all they can afford. Their is no rent control which is so out of control, where the rich get richer and live in grandiose homes and enjoy all those vacations, whereas the poor and low income can’t afford much at all. Have a heart

Sometimes more affordable than an overpriced home just because the real estate is high.. Alot of these modular homes are very well constructed.
