Janice, they are not called doublewide's anymore!! > They are manufactured homes, and I live in one, too. > Janice, I am not talking about the vinyl sided double wides, I am refering to the old steel trailers that used to be parked side by side in little communities and they were blown all over the place when tornadoes blew threw the area, I know they don't make those kinds of trailers anymore but they are still out there in large numbers, I have a 3 block cluster that is about 1.5 miles from my farm and only a handful of them are vinyl sided, most are the old metal covered 14'wx40'l. If I lived in one of those kinds and my area was under a tornado warning, I wouldn't take cover in it, I would go to another location, they always took the worst of tornadoes. But now that I live in Md. and not tornado alley, Missouri, I don't worry about it nearly like I used to. I also have a double wide in my western Md. farm and it is on a foundation, I like them much better than stick built homes, better insulation standards, easy to customize, and so fast to get put up. The only thing I don't like is the pitch of the roof on the house, too low. I guess that will make reroofing easier though.
