wind zones ratings

I need to know how to find the wind rating on a mobile home. It is a 1993 oakwood honc. I have the serial number is there any way to find out in the numbers? Or can I find it on the mobile home itself? Thanks for the help.

The wind zone designation is on the data sheet posted in the home...

This is a link to a data sheet so you will know what you are looking for..

http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/mhs/dataplate.pdf

It is an Adobe file..but might help..You will notice on the left column..second from the bottom..the section about wind zones..

Be advised...the code came into effect Jan 1994..Most likely no model before a 1995 has a designation...If the home is older than that..it cannot go in the affected areas...

A link to the rule..

Good luck..
