   I think this is one place the manufactured housing market may have dropped the ball.  I attended one town hall meeting where an individual wanted to replace a home with a MOD. The town had an ordinance against new manufactured housing, the mayor who was running the meeting said he didn’t know about Modular’s but if it came with wheels on it it’s a trailer.  It was reported to me that a past Attorney General of the State said the same thing.  Most people are not aware of the strides the industry has made or the differences in manufacture and modular.  I have even had trouble getting building permits for customers when we supplied the engineer’s specs on the Mod.  I have run into lenders, attorneys, and inspectors that have no clue of the difference and I don’t believe this is just a local problem from what I hear.
