Book excerpt: A lively and informative history of the mobile home in the United States over six decades—extensively illustrated with period photographs and vivid portraits of the people who live in mobile homes and the industry pioneers who designed and built them. In Wheel Estate, Allan Wallis offers a lively and informative history of the mobile home in the United States over six decades. His colorful account, extensively illustrated with period photographs and vivid portraits of the people who live in mobile homes and the industry pioneers who designed and built them, will inform and amuse anyone curious about this American phenomenon. Beginning with the travel trailers of the late 1920s and 1930s—with models that were built like yachts or unfolded like Polaroid cameras—Wallis moves through the World War II era, when the industry mushroomed as trailers became homes for thousands of defense workers, to the post war era, when trailers became year-round housing. The industry responded with new models—now called mobile homes—that tried to strike a balance between house and vehicle, even as owners built their own often fanciful additions (including one mobile home complete with Egyptian pylons). Carrying the story up to the present, Wallis links the need for mobile homes to continuing housing crises. He traces regulations and reforms aimed at "linear living," arguing in the end that manufactured housing remains distinctively American and embodies fundamental national ideas of home and community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured Insecurity is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth investigation of the social, legal, geospatial, and market forces that intersect to create housing insecurity for an entire class of low-income residents. Drawing on rich ethnographic data collected before, during, and after mobile home park closures and community-wide evictions in Florida and Texas—the two states with the largest mobile home populations—Manufactured Insecurity forces social scientists and policymakers to respond to a fundamental question: how do the poor access and retain secure housing in the face of widespread poverty, deepening inequality, and scarce legal protection? With important contributions to urban sociology, housing studies, planning, and public policy, the book provides a broader understanding of inequality and social welfare in the United States today.

Download or read book Why You Should Never Invest in Buying a Traditional Home Nor Renovating the Real Estate Property Why Manufactured Homes Are the Most Affordable and Best Type of Housing Option and Advantages and Disadvantages Associated with Owning a Manufactured Home written by Harrison Sachs and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on why mobile homes are the utmost most affordable and best type of housing option for prospective home buyers and also elucidates the ample advantages and disadvantages appertaining to owning a mobile home. Moreover, how to make money so that you can afford to invest in buying a mobile home is delineated in this essay. In spite their stigmatized perception, mobile homes are by far the utmost afford and quintessential housing option for most people. Mobile homes of the modern era are today's manufactured homes even though people often prefer to refer to them simply as mobile homes. Mobile home are manufactured in a factory and have just as much structural integrity, if not more, than stick-built homes which are built on the work-site instead of in a factory setting. The mobile homes built after 1976 are no more vulnerable to tornado damage than site-built homes. Stick-built homes may have less structural integrity than mobile homes due to having been exposed to the elements when being constructed as a result of never having been constructed in a factory setting. "The term 'mobile home' refers to an unregulated construction pre-1976, and the term 'manufactured home' refers to a housing unit that is constructed post-1976 following specific rules for design, durability and safety" (Understanding the difference," 2017). The savings for the mobile homes buyers reap goes far beyond manufacturers being able to pass on cost savings to customers from having reduced labor costs and reduced raw material costs from having procured steel, appliances, and the necessary housing parts in bulk. Mobile homes are substantially more affordable than stick-built homes, primarily because they are constructed in a factory, produced in massive quantities with limited customization options available, and the manufacturing process for the mobile homes has been eminently streamlined to minimize inefficiencies. For instance, "Instead of having a separate framing crew, plumber, electrician, A/C professional, cabinet maker, counter top specialist, flooring specialist, sheet-rock crew, insulation crew and concrete crew working for themselves and showing up at all different times like they would on a site built home, you have them all together at one convenient location to work on the construction of the mobile home. Also, each manufacturer will have a limited number of floor-plans that they build. This means that they are building the same plan over and over day after day, which increases efficiency and time as well as cuts down on common building mistakes that are generally experienced with every site built home. All of these floor-plans are drawn by an engineer and are then certified by a licensed plumber, electrician, etc. This cuts down on costs dramatically" (Chapman, 2015). The operational efficiencies associated throughout all stages of the manufacturing process not only culminates in manufacturers being able to produce 4-7 robust, high quality mobile homes in a single day (Chapman, 2015), but also allows the home buyers to minimize their housing costs. Mobile homes can be considered the utmost highest quality homes since all stages of the manufacturing process have been eminently streamlined to practically unalloyed perfection and the raw materials needed to construct the home have not been profusely exposed to the outside elements, unlike stick-built homes that are built on the housing-site. Moreover, mobile homes can be moved and subsequently securely anchored to a vacant parcel of land in order to render it almost impervious to hurricanes and tornadoes. Although the utmost devastating hurricanes and tornadoes can damage any type of home, stick-built homes are no less vulnerable to these calamities than post-1976 mobile homes which are securely bolted to the ground. Mobile homes not only provide a affordable housing option for less than 1/5 of the cost of a traditional stick-built home.
