The Manufactured Housing Forums

Besides the Clayton website, where else can I view detailed photos of the various aspects of construction?

Not interested in Fluff and Bling pictures, more on Flooring systems, insulation, ductwork installation etc. Thanks

Most builders have some info on their web sites...Maybe you should plan a couple of plant visits to plants that might interest you..Most quality built home welcome customer tours...Good Luck....

The easiest and best way to get details on construction is the first ever consumer ratings guide to each and every manufactured home builder in the country The Grissim Ratings Guide to Manufactured Homes provides at-a-glance listings with key information home shoppers need to make an informed decision

privately held
