HUD Tags

I am a realtor and I am selling a lot with 1985 Imperial (double wide) and I wish to contact the manufacturer to verify build date, serial number, Hud Certification, etc.

I can't find active phone number, email address, or website for the original manufacturer.

Would appreciate any assistance from this forum.

Thank you!

This manufacturer went out of business years ago. You CAN get official HUD verification of all you need.

See this forum thread for complete instructions and links;

need to know the vin number on my manufactured home where do they put it,?

If the home was built after 1976, the serial number is on the backing plate. This is the piece of steel that runs across the front of the home, and to which the hitch would be attached. The code says the number must be 3/8" in height, and be located on the foremost crossmember, numbers must not be stamped into hitches or draw members.

They could be covered with rust, or might be be behind skirting, and can difficult to find, but they are there. If you find rust you may need to lightly sand off the oxidation to get a clear view of the numbers.
