| 365094 | 2005-07-11 03:55:00 | From what Joe says, I have the impression there are two types of mobile (trailor) homes. The traditional cheaply built almost temporary dwelling, of which there are literally millions, and the latest better built structures. Joe also points out that building codes differ so maybe that contributes too. |

| 365097 | 2005-07-14 19:14:00 | Foxy . . . . Sorry for the late post/reply to your note . I was in surgery Monday and today (Thursday) is the first time this week I've decided to wear clothing . . . . so I was a little shy about putting in an appearance on F1 . . . . hahah Anyway, your: They are called trusses here, too . You are a little out with the "whangs", though - it was dwangs that was mentioned, which are the horizontal bits of wood between the vertical bits of wood in the framing . Whangs, dwangs, twangs . . sound the same . . . and funny-sounding to me . . . but that's the beauty of it all . . . I love the different terms and words for things from foreign technology . Pssssst: we call them "fireblocks" anyway . As to "pullmans", yes, they are cabinetted-in sinks . Originally designed as a space saver for railroad cars (the Famous PULLMAN CAR) , they have a lot of formerly wasted space turned into storage and useable areas with drawers and shelves for toiletries . The have a self-rimming sink on the top deck and usually a wooden cabinet of some sort under them for drawers and doors and kneekicks (the area that your knee would have to assume while one stands before the pullman/sink) . We also have toekicks that allow one to approach the pullman closely by giving one a few inches of area at the lowest part of the cabinet for toe clearance . The pullman in our master bathroom is a two-holer . . . twin, "his-n-hers" sinks . Now on to the "mobile home" part . At the lowest level or scale of housing, we have the R/V trailer ( . starcraftrv . com/) . . which is not designed for full time residency . It usually is used for camp-outs and family vacations where they opt to not stay in hotels or motels or homes of friends/relatives . " target="_blank">www . starcraftrv . com/) . . which is not designed for full time residency . It usually is used for camp-outs and family vacations where they opt to not stay in hotels or motels or homes of friends They are usually towed behind the family vehicle, and as there are a lot of different sizes and styles, the tow vehicle can also be either a full-blown diesel truck or van down to a small-ish economy car . The former are usually trailers that are either fifth-wheel ( . gorving . ca/fifthwheel . asp" target="_blank">www . gorving . ca) (having the same plate and lock mechanism as a semi-truck/trailer combo, down to a bumperhitch pull for the very smallest of "pop-up ( . vikingrv . com/) " or tent trailers . There are however, "full-time" units that have decidedly better insulation, heaters, airconditioning, built-in washers/driers" target="_blank">www . vikingrv . com/) " or tent trailers . There are however, "full-time" units that have decidedly better insulation, heaters, airconditioning, built-in washers and all the things a retired couple would like to have in their twilight years as they travel the country, staying out of the snowey areas (snow birds), travelling to warm climates for the season . Many of the hitch-type and almost all of the fifth wheel-type have onboard electrical generators, and this does not take into account the self-contained motorhomes, with engine, drivetrain, living spaces and all onoard electrical generation . Some are so large and luxurious ( . fleetwoodrv . com/americantradition/" target="_blank">www . fleetwoodrv . com) , they can power up a medium sized home too in an emergency . So much for the temporary or camping type trailers, and yes, they are "towable" by design . Next are park models (http://www . vikingrv . com/) . These are just smaller mobile homes, although larger than most of the largest towables, are still considered towable, but by permit only on most highways as they are oversized (width-wise) and have no self-containment tanks for waste and fresh water, and require hook-ups at the sites . These are super-appointed and have almost everything one could want in a larger home, stick or mobile, but in a smaller area, and usually one bedroom and sitting room . Check these out and see for yourselves . . these are so kewl! This is what I will probably be getting into next, as I don't want to have the size home I have now, and this is a lot more moveable, as it is only one unit, as opposed to the double and triple wide homes that are available here as "mobile homes, this company is here in Hemet, where I live ( . skylinehomes . com/) " or "modulars . (You gotta see these!) . (http://www . modularcenter . com/" target="_blank">www . skylinehomes . com/) " or "modulars . (You gotta see these!) . (http:) " . |

| 365103 | 2005-07-15 00:56:00 | For all you woodworkers and house builders, here's a virtual tour of one of the factories that produces mobile homes. This plant is not the one in Hemet where I live, but the one here is just as big and productive. Skyline Mobile Home Factory Virtual Tour (www.skylinehomes.com) ;) |
