Prefabricated Homes and Mobile Homes

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My parents are retiring and are looking for a home to move to. One option

they mentioned to me was buying a prefabricated home or a double wide mobile

home. This concerns me because I wouldn't think that the building materials

would be very good and I am wondering about mold growth in the building

materials

and the formaldehyde in some of the products that would be used to make these

less expensive homes.

Does anyone have any input concerning this? I would be grateful for any

information.

God Bless,

ML

We have had a very negative experience with a manufactured home. ALL of the

plumbing within the walls of the home were not even up to code. We had water

leaks everywhere there was a plumbing connection. 7 months later we had to

evacuate our home and leave all of our belongings behine. I was 7 pregnant the

entire time we lived in the home. Our son was born with horrible problems and

defects. Our other son's colon stopped working.

We had a wonderful manufacturers warranty. It was useless. We are nearing the

end of a four year lawsuit. So far, the manufacturer has offered us $1000.

Yes, you read that right.

Our case goes to a jury trial in October of this year.
