That is all completely not true, except for the last sentence.
In fact, if you choose to buy a tear-down and replace it, you can replace it with another manufactured home. It's your choice; some people have replacements rolled in on flatbed trucks, some have them built on site.
What IS required, is that if you do a window replacement of an older manufactured home, the replacement must meet certain minimum hurricane standards. The original windows did not. If you're just replacing a broken glass you can replace that with a matching piece. But if you're buying a whole new frame, it has to meet those standards.
