Art is certainly in the eye of the beholder but in this case, I think we can all agree these are some pretty awesome mobile home photos! The angles, lighting, filters and just general composition really appeals to me. Never mind that the subject matter is perfect! The tone of the photos is eerily beautiful, …
I love this home! It doesn’t look like much from the outside but this single wide mobile home interior is beautiful and modern. It was listed for sale in 2008 on a blog called Nelson Mobile Home. The price was $43,900 and it has 2 bedrooms and is a 12×60 with a total of 725 …
If you work in or study the manufactured housing industry, you probably know about the annual MHI Congress and Expo for Manufactured and Modular Housing. Essentially, it’s the Oscars for the industry. This year’s expo will be on April 16, 17 and 18th in Las Vegas. This is a huge ‘insiders’ trade show for all …

My family and I want to make sure our lives do not harm our delicate environment anymore than it needs to. We recycle, limit our trips and buy second hand as much as possible. Buying and remodeling an older manufactured home is a great way for us to reach this goal, as well as practice …
May you have a beautiful Christmas in a mobile home! I just want to take the time to say thank you and let you know how much I appreciate you reading Mobile Home Living during this Holiday Season. Your support, through comments and emails, has brought many smiles and a lot …
Thankfully, the nation seems to be getting back to our roots. The trend of homesteading is growing more popular by the season. Homesteading with a manufactured home is a great way to practice self-sufficiency, frugal living as well as being green. Growing up in southern WV the majority of us had some level of a …
We’re detouring from our usual and having a little fun! Through the months I have stumbled upon a few mobile home and camper themed cakes that look just like a mobile home or a travel camper. Of course, I saved them so I could share them with you once I had enough. I think there’s enough …

Living in a manufactured home is no different from a stick built home. I know that and you know that but those that have never been around a manufactured home usually have a distorted view based on stigmas and stereotypes. I hope the more we educate those people and make them realize the truth about …
When trailers first hit the market in the late 1920’s, they were the epitome of freedom. No other product had allowed entire families to travel with such freedom before. They were appreciated and admired. From the 1920’s till WWII, people were using trailers to see the country and considered the height of luxury. It wasn’t …
I’ve always been fascinated with other people’s homes. Since I was a child I’ve loved looking at home decor magazines (thanks to my grandmother for always keeping them around for me), visiting homes and watching home-related shows. Remember “The Home Show” with the queen of craft herself Carol Duvall? I couldn’t have been more than …
Mobile homes have had it tough, they are judged, misunderstood, stereotyped, labelled negatively and lied about constantly. The mobile home stereotype seems to be the most prominent. When someone uses the words ‘trailer trash’ they are essentially judging 18 million people based on the actions and lives of only a few. Most of these lies …

I have not written about pre-fabricated homes since they are very expensive and really nothing like a true mobile home. Most are hauled in on flat back trucks with no wheels or chassis whatsoever. However, I am certain that the PlusVilla Pre-Fab is a prime example of how manufactured housing companies will be designing in …
