The question of whether a “frameless” factory built home might be considered a modular home under state law is an interesting question.<\/p>\n

To me, if the definition of “manufactured home” is amended to delete the requirement that a manufactured home have a permanent chassis, it wouldn’t matter what state law says.<\/p>\n

If a frameless home receives a HUD label, that label is preemptive and the home is a “manufactured home” within the federal meaning of that phrase.<\/p>\n

What is more interesting is if the term “manufactured home” is amended to exclude RV trailers larger than 400 square feet so a larger RV trailer could be built, since that unit is not defined in a federally preemptive way, then yes, state law could define that unit as a modular home.<\/p>\n

So for the RV industry to produce a non-regulated home at either the federal or state level, they would need to amend federal and all state laws. ##<\/p>\n
