Basement for Manufactured Home

[Jim M]

I am looking to purchase a doublewide manufactured home in the future (install on a lot I am purchasing). I would like to build a basement myself to put this manufactured home on and am in need of some general information on any special basement requirements to support a doublewide manufactured home. I have been unable to find much information online on this. If anyone has any links that provide basement requirements/blueprints or pictures as they pertain to manufactured homes can you please post a link.

Thank You.

Complete basement requirements will be available from the manufacturer that builds the home..It is important that you set the home to the exact specs in the set up manual..

I know once I decide what home to buy, I will have to have my basement specs match the home exactly. However, I am right now trying to find some general information on anything that might be differant support requirement wise for a manufactured home basement compared to a traditional home basement (I used to work in contruction in the summers and have helped put up several dozen traditional basements over the years) Specifically I need to know what the central support requirement are for a manufactured home basement. Can I just use a wood beam or beams down the center for support, will I have to install a metal beam in the center, or will I need to build a full or partial wall in the center to support the manufactured home structure?
