Oakwood is now owned by Clayton Homes...There is little track record for the "new" plants...

Maybe the best approach would be to ask the dealer for customer references of the homes built since the Clayton take over...

I would not consider a pre Clayton built home sitting on a dealer lot..

I would be concerned about workmanship today. Clayton has changed the pay structure for assembly workers resulting in a large employee turn over. This has reduced output at some plants and is always bad for quality, because less experienced people are building the homes.
