I have to ask. Are the homes in question modular or mobile homes?

There is a huge difference in build quality and materials used.

Modular homes are stick built homes that are assembled in a factory setting and transported to the home site in sections for final assembly.

Mobile homes are trailers with two or more pieces bolted together to make a larger home (double wide).

Personally I would rather have a modular than an onsite stick built home. They are built out of the weather to more exact tolerances. Plus the framing has to be built stronger to handle the transport
