Re: How can I tell which walls are supporting walls in a double wide?

If a wall is directly under a truss I would suspect that it was load bearing... if it is not then it is most likely a non-structur...

Re: Gallatin Cimarron
The electrical cross over in a doublewide has no standard location. Even when dealing in the same brand of home you may find it at different locations in different models. Start by looking under the home along the center line. You might get lucky as in some of the older homes there was a connection ...

Re: GALLEY KITCHEN MAKEOVER
It is difficult to answer your question without knowing if the home is a single or double wide or which direction the wall is running...

Re: arson
I'm afraid your not going to like my answer very much.... Most home buyers are forced to purchase insurance by their mortgage holder.
