Golden West vs Marlette

Post by martha » Thu May 06, 2004 9:39 am

We went up to the Palm Harbor factory and were very impressed but on the way back to the airport we saw a dealer with some very pretty homes. We stopped. They were very impressive and seemed to be comprable to PH. Has anyone had pos or neg experience with either Golden West or Marlette. I have yet to complete my manufacturing survey for the two but....I am just trying to get a real world feel for the homes.


Thanks!

Martha

Marlette and Golden west are...were Oakwood Homes brand names...Oakwood filed bankruptcy and the assets were just bought be Clayton Homes........I am sure Clayton will operate the plants...but what if anything will happen to the product is probably anyones guess right now..

We owned a Marlette...twice. Marlette used to be a top of the line home as well as Schult. Schult bought out Marlette and were made in the same factory, then Oakwood bought out Schult. So if you buy a Marlette, you are now buying an Oakwood and the the quality got worse. Our 1997 Marlette had far better quality than our 2002 Marlette and we won't buy another.
