Are “Mobile Homes” and “Modular homes” the same thing?
A. No. They are two entirely different types of building systems. Mobile homes or “trailers”, are generally built on metal frames. Often wheels or dollies are used to transport the home from the factory, or site to site, and are designed to be moved as often as necessary. Mobile homes are also constructed to a different building standard. Modular Homes and “on-site” built homes on the other hand, are constructed to the same building codes required by your state, or county.
