If you are considering a franklin, you must be in the south. Champion is really huge, but basically, they do a good job. Franklin, used to be bad, they built a great looking home, but did not have any clue about quality. however that was a few years ago and I haven't seen them for a while.
Find out which Champion plant built the home you are thinking about. If it is Henry TN, then run the other way, but most other Champion plants are pretty good.

I live in North Alabama and have been looking at mobile homes for awhile now. I've looked at a half dozen different dealers, and 5 of 6 dealers said Franklin Homes are the best and these dealers didn't carry Franklin so they had nothing to gain by saying this. There are many mobile home manufacturers within about 60 miles.......Chandlier, Indies, Southern Energy, Southern Estates, Deer Valley are some and still they said Franklin are the best built.

I know this thread is several years old now but we are currently looking at Franklin Homes. We have visited the facility and taken a tour. We were very impressed with the quality of materials used and the way the homes are built. We are having trouble trying to figure out which is the better route to go - on or off frame modular? Any advise would be appreciated. Also, any input from current Franklin Homes buyers would be nice. Thanks

See the postings Differences in on frame and off frame modulars for a better understanding.

Enter "Franklin" in the sesarch field at the top of the page. For a range of experience with that brand
