jjohnisme I own a modular double wide home. It is now going on 14 years old and I have not replaced the water heater or the furnace. Yes the plumbing SUCKS if it leaks or goes out but with the PEX plumbing parts they used I can find and replace just about anything. My house was placed over a 30x60 10foot tall concrete basement/garage. It is on 1.5 a of land in Hancock co. If I had to do it over I would still purchase a modular home. They are insulated much better than stick homes. Built indoors so the builders are not in a hurry due to heat or cold. Never rained on prior to roof being put on. They give you the best bang for your buck. I was not looking for resale value but let me tell you the 3 bedroom 2 full bath master bath with Jacuzzi is awesome. I was in a stick house before this and they too have their issues especially older cooker cutter ones that are falling apart (watch the local news they show them weekly). So with that said I understand why you want to purchase one. Good luck and stick to your guns you know what makes you and yours happy.
