Mobile homes (or manufactured homes) are housing units built in
factories, rather than on site, and then taken to the place where
they will be occupied. They are usually transported by semi-trucks
over public highways. They are less expensive per square foot than
site-built homes, and are often associated with rural areas and
high-density developments, sometimes referred to as trailer parks.
In the UK and USA they are referred to as "mobile home
parks." The term "manufactured home" specifically
refers to a home built entirely in a protected environment under a
federal code set by the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Contrary to popular belief, manufactured homes
are not mobile homes. The term "mobile home" describes
factory-built homes produced prior to the 1976 HUD Code enactment.
These houses are usually placed in one location, often a rented
lot, and left there permanently. However, they do retain the
ability to be moved, as this is a requirement in many areas.
Behind the cosmetic work fitted at installation to hide the base,
there are strong trailer frames, axles, wheels and tow-hitches.
Manufactured homes are not large recreational vehicles. The latter
are more properly called travel trailers, motor homes or RVs, and
they are usually parked at facilities called trailer parks,
trailer courts, or RV parks for short terms. The two major forms
of manufactured homes are single-wides and double-wides. Single-wides
are sixteen feet or less in width and can be towed to their site
as a single unit. Double-wides are twenty feet or more wide and
are towed to their site in two separate units, which are then
joined together. Triple-wides and even homes with four, five, or
more units are also manufactured, although not as commonly. In the
U.S., manufactured homes are regulated by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), via the Federal
National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards
Act of 1974. It is this national regulation that has allowed many
manufacturers to distribute nationwide, since they are immune to
the jurisdiction of local building authorities. By contrast,
producers of modular homes must abide by state and local building
codes. There are, however, windzones adopted by HUD that
manufactured home builders must follow. For example, state-wide,
Florida is at least windzone 2. South Florida is windzone 3, the
strongest windzone. After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, new standards
were adopted for manufactured home construction. The codes for
building within these windzones were significantly amended, which
has greatly increased their durability. During the 2004 hurricanes
in Florida, these standards were put to the test, with great
success. However, older models continue to face the exposed risk
to high winds due to the attachments applied such as carports,
porch and screen room additions. These areas are exposed to
"Wind Capture" which apply extreme force to the
underside of the integrated roof panel systems, ripping the
fasteners through the roof pan causing a series of events which
destroys the main roof system and the home.
