I can’t sit here …
I can’t sit here and say that there has not been improvements in mobile homes. Yes they are built better than they were back in 1993 but you can not sit here and tell me that a manufactured home are built the same as a on site home in reguards to quality of material and workmanship. A mobile home has all the potential to be nearly better than a on site built home due to the fact that you are building it in a controlled enviroment. thanks for the comment.

I am not sure, but I think that the more recent ones, are built a lot like they are claiming, but probably only since around 2000,and up..again I am not sure,and most people probably don’t know unless they build them, because the newer ones, are less likely to need repair,any time soon..

@ryanb788 I own a 1992 and all the electrical boxes are attached to interior 2×4′s and exterior 2×6 walls. Mine also has 3/8 sheetrock, but that is generally standard for mobile homes due to weight restrictions. Sounds like you had a poor manufacturer.

Site-building does not ensure quality. Indeed, I’ve seen new site-built homes with poorly spaced floor joists & framing and cardboard boxes used for air conditioning ducts. It really comes down to cost. Site-built or manufacturered, budget homes are going to be cheaply made, with premium homes much less likely so. However, in either case (budget or premium), the manufacturered home is going to cost less.

Again, it comes down to cost. Site-built or manufactured, budget homes are going to be cheaply made, with premium homes much less likely so.

My mother is still living in a premium mobile home built in the late 50′s. It was well-made with solid floor joists & framing, wood paneling & trim, and wiring & plumbing adequate even today. No repairs beyond routine maintenance (replacing worn carpets or appliances, etc).
