Best way to Insulate under mobile home?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 31st, 2011

I need to reinsulate under my mobile home but have come up with many different ways of doing it. One of the ideas I have is to take foam board 1 or 2 inch thick foam board and rip it to fit in between the joists and glue it to the subfloor then strap it. I have heard though that it is flammable and cannot be exposed. It would be good though because it is much easier to work with then fiberglass. and no animals can get into it. Does anyone have any better solutions

Should I take legal action against a mobile home company?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 27th, 2011

I bought a 16 x 80 trailer in the beginning of June. The home that was initially old to me had already been purchased. The mobile home company sold me another home that needed a ton of repairs. I was promised the repairs would be done in a timely manner, but I haven’t seen or heard from anyone. One of the problems was the house sweating, and now I believe mold is starting to develop. What should I do? Can I seek legal council for this situation, or do I have to just grin and bear it?

How much is a newer mobile home worth?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 26th, 2011

Ok so there are free lookups to find the values of cars, but not mobile homes? Im not about to pay someone 100 or more to have it appraised but..if I have to, guess I will. Point being, im trying to purchase a mobile home, its owned outright by my mom, her and her fiance are moving into a house. Its a 1998 Fairmont, 14×80 ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, EXCELLENT condition…They are wanting to sell for 13,000 but I want a loan for at least 18,000 so I can do some things to the house, and payoff a signature loan that has an awful interest rate…is this an unreasonable amount? Does anyone know off the top of their head if this type of home has 18, 000 worth of value in it, without looking…Just curious

How to tear a mobile home down?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 8th, 2011

Well, it’s an old mobile home that was given to me to tear down for scrap. I only have 2 days to do it and was wondering the easiest way to do it. I was thinking of running a winch cable through half of it and winching the walls and roof down on one side and then doing the other half. I’m wondering about the floors and roof though. What would be the easiest way to do that? I’ll have an 8×16 foot trailer so I guess I could cut the floors in small of enough sections to winch onto the trailer?

Can I convert my Mobile Home plumbing to standard?

Posted by Modular Homes on December 17th, 2010

I’m installing sinks in my bathroom and kitchen in my single wide mobile home. All of the plumbing is fixed, it has copper running straight to the faucets, no stops or threaded fittings. Can I just cut in the fittings and solder them in and attach normal coupling hoses etc to my new sinks?
It looks like standard size copper pipe coming up from the floor but then it is stepped down to thin copper tubing which then goes straight to the faucet handles.

Can I get money for mobile home repairs?

Posted by Modular Homes on November 15th, 2010

I recently bought a mobile home because my husband and I are just tired of renting. We couldn’t afford a house, and this place is a pretty large mobile home (16×80) but it needs a lot of work done. Some electrical, sub flooring, dry wall, etc. I’m just wondering if there are any government programs that can help with the cost of repairs. We live in West Virginia, and this is the first time we’ve bought anything like this. Any information would be great! Thanks!
We didn’t actually go through a Realtor, we just bought it straight out with cash. It’s on land that we are leasing, but will one day own. My family (dad, cousin, brother, husband) are doing most of the repairs, but the materials are getting quite expensive.

How much does an average lot for placing a mobile home on cost?

Posted by Modular Homes on November 12th, 2010

We purchased a mobile home roughly a year and a half ago, and are getting tired of having to pay lot rent, which is 5/month. The reason it is so expensive is the rent includes water/sewer/trash. I was wondering what the average cost of a lot would be. I am considering the fact that it depends on location and quality of land. So go from most expensive to cheapest with explanations – if one chooses to answer my question. Thank you so much in advance!
