The Manufactured Housing Forums

My wife and I are recently retired and are in process of looking for a place to relocate. We're thinking of buying land and installing either a mobile or a manufactured home. Areas include Calusa and Red Bluff California. Where can we go to get info such as:

Mobile vs manufactured
Manufacturers and contractors
Pictures and floor plans
Cost to transport/install

Thanks in advance for your help. Jim Springmeyer
