r/ManufacturedHome

I have a 1994 champion that’s too small now (2 bed, 1 bath) and needs repairs. I own my land and it’s a little over a half of acre. Paid cash for it in 2015 with the mobile home already set up. Just did a total remodel. Since then i have had 2 other children, 3 total, so we went to look at some 4 bedroom double wides. Surprise, surprise! Another mobile home can not be put on my land according to the city ordinance. I’m honestly at a loss and a little discouraged, because we need more room and I’m so tired of sharing the bathroom with 3 little boys!! I guess I’m just looking for some advice. It’s too damn expensive to build a 4 bedroom, new construction home. Would adding a room and bathroom be cost efficient and just doing another remodel? Or at this point, i was even thinking of moving, but i want to keep my property.

Hey there ! Thanks to this sub I FINALLY found the right small modular to put on my land for my mom.

They want $85K for the scotbilt Amelia we LOVE . she can really only pay $75K with the site prep and the model she needs has a porch.

How much wiggle room do dealers usually have for discounts?
How much difference does it make to shop through the different dealers?
where can i look to see if there are any used models of this same type?

Thanks for your help!

I was looking at this home however we was quoted 225k for this base price, after everything included (well septic, hookup, delivery, etc ), it comes out at 240k. I feel like this may be a little over expensive. Anyone have any insights? We was in the proccess of buying it, however after looking at another dealer they quoted around $180k for base price, and 205k after most things. ( however, I do not know the 205k company like that, so have no idea if its just a quality thing )

Can anyone suggest an insurance company that can provide homeowners for a manufactured home? Also, on the East Coast in Virginia. It would be a secondary home unfortunately because I work in a different state and the bank would only finance it as a secondary. I got a few quotes and they were all around $3000.00. That’s insane to me. Thank you.

So I live in an older doublewide with cinderblock wall skirting.The previous owners(family) told me they had it constructed like that to be considered a foundation because the deed to their property wouldn't allow mobile homes but they spoke​ to a lawyer and found if they had it built that way it would be considered a foundation and no longer a mobile home(every single person in the subdivision did the same thing. LOL)

My issue is I was looking closely the other day and there are staircase cracks in the skirting on all 4 sides some big enough to put the tip of a flathead screwdriver in and some not big enough for a peice of paper it's just noticeable if looking with a keen eye. I'm trying to figure out if it's structural.All but one of them start above the ventilation grilles and continue again under the vintilation grilles and staircase along the mortar as they go to the ground but there is one crack which is not at a ventilation grille and is just noticeable if you look really closely that zigzags straight through a cinderblock before reaching mortar and starting to staircase from there.The house did go through an earthquake once about 10 years ago if that could cause it but would the cracks be wider after all these years?

COULD THIS BE STRUCTURAL!!!!

My situation: currently living with family, with my boyfriend and 1 year old. I am trying to get a mobile home but it would be financed under only me (my bf has bad credit he is working on) we need out of living with family it’s not good for us anymore. we have been looking at mobile homes. The only one I can get financed for myself is the Tru Birch home (I believe Clayton home is the manufacturer) I have heard HORROR stories and I am scared to go through with it but renting seems like a waste to me. We would be putting it on family land so no cost for that. Home is financed for 300 months at 10% interest for $75,000 . Help me with this decision. I want a house for my family but also don’t want to end up in a bad situation with a bad cheap mobile home? Help!!!!

Does anyone have any experience with a home from BG Manufacturing? I know they are very new. I also know they split off from Sunshine, so that is a plus. My bride and I really like Sunshines quality. We don't own it so I guess it would be more of the appearance of quality. We were all set to purchase a Timber Creek home but we went, on a whim, to look at a BG. It definitely turned our heads. I just can't seem to find much of anything on the Internet about them. I suppose that is because they are only a couple of years in business. Wanted to throw a final hail Mary here and see if anyone had any experience with one.

We have a new home and the drains in bathtub are both extremely slow I read somewhere there could be a cap if so where and how do I get to it I litterally stand in 6 inches of water while showering.

Thanks

I have a 1995 Century double wide that needs a patio door upgrade. It’s a strange size 72x76 inch single sliding door. Any ideas where I can find a replacement? If that’s not possible I could make do with just a replacement sliding screen door for now. Thanks

So I bought my 2010 Fairmont about a month ago. The HVAC system is16 years old.

For about a month, it has been not draining right and water is caught between my top flooring and subfloor. When you press on the top floor water comes up.

I’ve had a plumber come out, and he found zero pipe leaking anywhere. That narrows it down to the HVAC system.

I got a quote for a new HVAC system today and the absolute cheapest option they had and including install was $14,000. Does that sound correct, or does that seem excessive?

Seeking advice. I am renovating an older mobile home that has had water damage along the outside edges as seen on many mobile homes. I am replacing the rotten wood. My question is does anyone spray anything on the wood being left? For mold or just a general disinfectant? Thank you in advance for any experience, knowledge, or opinions.

Hi ! I am new to living in a manufactured home and need the dryer vent cleaned . Is this something thats easy to do ? If I call someone ,who do I call to do this for me ? How much does it cost typically?
