I have a doublewide mobile home and I need a reverse mortgage on it. They say it is not HUD approved. How do I make it HUD approved?

I am near the point of purchasing a manufactured home and have narrowed the choices down to the following brands not necessarily in this order: Silver Crest, Skyline, Karsten, Fleetwood, Clayton, Golden West, Kit Homes. I think Fleetwood is at the bottom of the list as the local plant #17 in Woodland Calif. has been decertified by HUD several times over the last few years (Currently decertified). Any one have experiences with any of these brands?

I am talking about modular homes (not manufactured homes). Modular homes are built to local codes (not HUD), just like conventional stick-built homes. And modular homes are stick-built also, but I have heard they use 30% more wood than conventional homes because modular homes have to be transported, therefore they are stronger than conventional homes. I have heard that modular homes are made indoors in a controlled environment, which is better, and are made more precisely with more quality control than conventional homes. I have also heard they appreciate the same as conventional homes.

Opinions?
