Cavco Community Series Manufactured Home displayed at the International Networking Roundtable in Phoenix, AZ

Part of the appeal and insight from the International Networking Roundtable (and at Super Symposiums for that matter) is the presence of new factory-built model homes.

Two show homes were present in Phoenix last week, and in alphabetical order, we will present Cavco’s first. Then the New Champion’s manufactured home on display may well be ready here on my upcoming weekend blog post, so stay tuned!

This Cavco manufactured home featured full finished drywall, with 9’ ceilings and transom windows.

Transom windows are seen above the energy saving glass and window treatments below.

The home shown was a 2 bedroom 1 bath, but obviously Cavco builds 3 bedroom 2 bath models, in varying lengths and widths.

Kitchen dining area is centered by dual windows that let in streams of natural light.

I’ve been walking model homes at home shows, factory shows, retail centers and communities since the early 1980s.  I confess I never get tired of it!  It is wonderful to see the residential touches that Cavco produced for this show.

For example, the residential look of the entertainment center was tremendous.

The plant shelf above the entertainment center was properly displayed with well placed greenery.

Notice the plant shelf at the top of the entertainment center.

Having done many shows, I know how challenging it can be to get all the details just right.  This plant shelf in the hall could have used a touch of greenery, to draw attention to that feature.
Having done many shows, I know how challenging it can be to get all the details just right. As a note for future displays, this plant shelf in the hall could have used a touch of greenery on top, to draw attention to that feature.

The plant shelf was also found in the hallway, one of those elegant touches that made the home’s appeal seem more ‘site built.’

Unlike many homes, this one featured a ¾ bath with a walk-in shower vs. the standard tub/shower combo.  Again, the look and feel was residential.

Ample and appealing Kitchen was shown with wrapped MDF cabinetry.

The cabinetry shown in this home was a wrapped MDF.  While I didn’t inquire, I’m confident that a solid wood cabinet door is available as an upgrade.

Bill Danforth stayed late to accommodate my request for photos.  If I were Bill’s supervisor, I’d also commend him for being Johnny on the spot with a personalized follow up to me immediately after the show.  That is the type of attention to detail and rapid follow up that a good rep provides.   Bill’s email for details on this home is: billd@cavco.com

While I’m pressed for time tonight, and seeking to keep this blog post brief, I would be remiss if I failed to mention again the fantastic information and presentations that were the hallmark of the International Networking Roundtable in Phoenix.  As time permits, we plan to do follow up reports on various presentations in the days ahead.

The foundation enclosure was painted to match the display model.  Palm trees made for a nice backdrop!

Next stop on the www.MHMSM.com September 2010 road trip is Denver and the MHI meeting!  I hope to see many of you there. # #
