What is a mobile home?
A mobile home (also called a house trailer or just “trailer”) is a pre-made home structure that’s built on a chassis allowing it to be transported to a home site from the dealer or manufacturer’s location. They can be used for both temporary or permanent homes or general building purposes.
Since about 1976, mobile homes have been more correctly called manufactured homes as this category of housing is built on a chassis rather than a foundation as traditional or modular homes are. Manufactured homes can be built on a frame that may or may not have suspensions and wheels that allow pulling them in trailer fashion for relocation.
Many have a long rectangular shape, with standard width models having more interior space of “double wide” trailers which are larger. Triple wide mobile homes are available as well but are much less common.
