I personally would not tag a >20 foot wide manufactured home as a static caravan
I thought that building=static_caravan was meant for (single-wide) trailers / “mobile homes” without permanent foundations, since these could still be moved without demolishing a foundation or breaking the building into pieces. If a manufactured home is placed on a permanent foundation, on land that is owned rather than rented, then it is just a different way of building a house, no? Similarly, a fancy modern house or apartment building might be built out of prefab modules or modified shipping containers. I’d say the defining difference is whether or not there is a permanent foundation But I confess this is not my area of expertise On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 12:09 AM Clifford Snow <cliff...@snowandsnow.us> wrote: > I the US we call them manufactured homes.
