What could be causing an exterior wall to bow inward?

Tell us about your home. Age, any additions, last time it was re leveled. Any other recent changes? Tom

My house is a 1999 Fleetwood doublewide that has not been releveled since in was installed. There are no additions to the house.

It could be a few things, incorrect original set up is where I would start. Could be out of level or the blocking may be incorrect causing it to twist. My advice is to get it checked for level, then go from there. Find a reputable MH repairman in your area who uses a water level. Tom

probably a bowed wall stud. if you have vinly siding an easy fix. i would have to assume that the wall also bows on the inside? if it doesnt bow inside at the same place it is probably siding that may be nailed to tightly , has it always been this way , just notice it or did it recently happen? it is fairly common to sometimes have a bowed stud.
