Dutch Milennium Series

[Michelle]

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a Dutch Milennium Model #160-31. Does anyone currently own something from the Dutch Millennium series and what are your opinions?

Thanks in advance for any help. This is a big decision!

Cheers,
Michelle

Sorry to follow-up my own message, but just thought I pass on more info.

First off, it's Dutch Model 1680-31 - I forgot the 8 in my previous post. It's a 16X80 singlewide.

My problem is that I LOVE the way it looks. Gorgeous master bath, fireplace, sunken kitchen, skylights, etc. However, I also want to make sure that it's structurally sound. Here are a few details:

7 1/2 foot sidewalls
Recessed frame
crossmembers/outriggers pm every 4' on steel undercarriage
2 X 6 (14') or 2X8 (16') floor joist 16" OC
Full length wall studs
5/8" floor decking
30 lb. PSF roof load
water resistant underlayment
nominal 3/12 roof pitch
3/8" exterior blackboard
2 X 6 facia backer
aluminum facia
vented eaves all around
double 4 Dutch Lap Vinyl siding w/metal starter strip.
all copper wiring
brass plumbing fittings
water shut offs throughout

Comments as to whether the above are good/bad? Is there anything else I should ask the dealer about?

Thanks again for any help.

Hi,
I am afraid I am not much help on the specs but just wanted to say that I have looked at the home you are thinking of in our area (not the same place I am sure).
It is a beautiful home and we are considering it also. It does seem well made and has a unique floor plan with the sunken kitchen. It is so roomy . Good luck with your decision. I believe the one we looked at was $35,000 or $36,000. Not real sure. Are you getting a good deal on the price?

Hi,

Yeah, it is a beautiful home, isn't it? I looked at many other models and floor plans and didn't find anything else I like *nearly* as well. I resisted the thought of buying new (because of the depreciation), but this one changed my mind.

The price with all the options is 35,995 at my dealership. However, add on sales tax plus other things and that makes it considerably more. I'm actually willing to take the display model because there isn't a thing I'd change and they will discount it. I should know today what the dealer will give me for my current trailer as a trade-in and then we'll get down to the real numbers. Will let you know when and if it happens. Fingers crossed.

Hope it goes well for you . I look forward to hearing how it goes .It is a nice home and I think you will be happy with it if you get it.
