manufactured homes brands good or bad?

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?

Clayton makes a good solid home. Fleetwood, in my opinion, has made their reputation by building low end trailers. Some of their sales brochures can be misleading I believe. Many manufacturers build homes to fit different price ranges. You have to be careful to find out what costs extra on one model, that comes standard with another brand. Fleetwood is one of those brands that has a lot of "upgrades" available for extra cost. So be sure you're comparing apples to apples, so to speak, hehehe.

Here is a link to a rather long post I use, when offering suggestions on what to look for when shopping for a home (especially a manufactured home)

Take time to read thru it, and I think it will give you some helpful things to look for in your shopping... perhaps help you spot some things you haven't noticed yet. If the link doesnt work for you, feel free to email me, and I'll send it to you that way.

Have Fun
