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.
