Double Wide Trailer Homes vs Single Wide Singlewide Homes
Sábado, Dezembro 20th, 2008
Over the past ten years or so, mobile homes (still commonly referred to as mobile homes) have become a great option for new homebuyers. Unlike the old shoddy manufactured homes from trailer parks that members think of, modular homes now come as two-story homes or even town homes and include features like cathedral ceilings and fireplaces.
The basic configuration to order manufactured homes, however, is still single wide or double wide. Single wide or single-section singlewide homes are made of one main unit. The average single side ready-built home usually has about 1,100 square feet of living space while double wides average about 1,700 square feet. Needless to say, there are also larger mobile homes, but single- and double-wides are still the most common sizes.
Modular homes do have their problems. According to Client Reports, single-section homes have more problems thinking about floors, roofs, windows, and doors while multi-section home problems tend to seem to be related to the joining of the sections.
From part the problems relate to the fact that the home is created from a factory and then transported to another location via flatbed truck. The motion involved can have a unpopular effect on the joints and connectors. However, manufacturers of quality homes do their best to correct any problems that may occur during transport.
Nowadays it may even be impossible to tell the difference between a trailer home and an on-site home unless you have seen it being built. The most common difference is that ready-built homes tend to have a lower roof slope because the home can have to become moved under highway bridges.
On the other hand, the materials now used tend to prove to be comparable to the quality of site-built homes and, other than roof slope, generally resemble “regular” homes. Indeed, if a mobile home were not located in a “trailer park”, most people would seem to be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
Nowadays more double-wides are sold than single-wides. In great part this is because the typical home buyer want more space, not less, and double-wides offer that at a price that is still far less expensive than a traditional home of the same size. Not only that, but zoning from various areas actually means that double-wide factory built homes are the smallest size allowed.
As a homeowner, you should also know that double-wide mobile homes tend to hold…or even enhance…their value as compared to single-wide homes.
