Personally, I don't think I could ever live full time in a mobile home. Heck, I don't even want to vacation in any kind of mobile home or trailer. I would just get too clausterphobic. I need space. I need to go to other rooms. But that is just me.
@Puppy Lips - Uh.... a mobile home, or manufactured house has, multiple rooms. Kitchens, bathrooms, living room, bedrooms.@gidgetgh Yes, I suppose. But the post was about a mobile home. It can't be too big if it is actually mobile. My in laws had a motor home when I was dating my now husband. I went on a few trips with them and quickly decided that that was not something I wanted to ever do as an adult. My daughter in law grew up in a very small house and I felt very claustrophobic in there. I guess it is all what you are used to.
@Puppy Lips - there is no "I suppose". A mobile home, or manufactured house, has separate rooms. Double wides can be quite large and there are even triple wides and modular homes that fit the category. These are not RV's or motor homes you hook up to be the back of your vehicle and take around. They are multi room homes.
A motor home is not the same thing as a mobile home.
@gidgetgh Well duh. I know a mobile home is not the same as a motor home. But is not a mobile home mobile? How big can they be if they are built somewhere else and then moved? I was just commenting to the OP that I would not be comfortable living in a mobile home, no matter how big it is.
@Puppy Lips - they are mobile in a sense that they can be moved. They have to be able to be moved from mfg. to dealer, from dealer to location where it's being set up. And doublewides and triple wides are transported in either 2 or 3 sections and then "attached" at their final site. But they aren't "hook them up to your trailer hitch" kind of towables as an RV or motorhome is.

A local company is now advertising second story mobile/manufactured homes in my area. I've seen some over 3,000sq ft.

one manufactured home (looks like a typical home)
Typical mobile home.
I know they may have evolved since this picture but it seems people must be talking about different things?
The second picture is not of a mobile home. It is a travel trailer. Also, to be a RV (motor home) it would have to be self propelled. The one above would have to be towed behind a vehicle.
