Palm Harbor
I would like to know what your thoughts are about Palm Harbor ? My wife and I are torn between palm Harbor and Karsten. We live in Albuquerque, NM and these are the two manufacturer's we are looking into. Palm Harbor is definitly more customer focused but I feel that Karsten is built better. I just don't like Karsten's floors. Palm Harbor I hear has great service after the sale but Karsten's factory is right here in Albuquerque and Palm Harbor is based out of Dallas. A tough decision. Any info you can provide to help us make up our minds would be greatly appreciated. We liked Solitaire and that is where I found out about this website but they were not very accomodating because thay found out we had secured our own financing and were unable to work with us because we are financing through HUD 184. Thank you for your time.
Re: Palm Harbor
Ask your dealer to compare their homes to each other on paper. Be sure to compare apples to apples. In my many years in the manufactured housing industry I have always been a firm believer of Palm Harbor's products. Let me know if I can help.

Re: Palm Harbor
We have a Palm Harbor Home and adore it and have been thrilled with their after service care. Each factory differsm see if it's possible to find out what the Customer survey results are on the factory in your area.
I remember seeing Karsten's floor plans and loving them but since it's not in our area I never checked into quality.

Re: Palm Harbor
I'd like to know more about HUD 184, as well, Murray, you aren't the only one.
Re:HUD 184
Hud 184 is a government guaranteed loan program available to Native Americans,
Alaskans, and Hawaiians. I believe you have to be a member of a tribe to
participate as this program operates through the Office of Public and Indian
Housing. For more info go to: http://www.codetalk.fed.us/loan184.html

You could also check out the Schult of Buckeye, Az. They build one of the best manufactured home out of Arizona and deliver them into New Mexico and Colorado. Their homes are built heavy duty and use very good building materials. good luck!
