Stick built houses are not perfect either. It depends on how bad the crew is hungover. Some things don't present themselves until you live in them awhile. Sometimes the workers are high school Kids on a summer job. Roofers seem to all be Mexicans. Nothing is perfect.

We have had a lot of fun with all this. Likely Misses Gunner will put her foot down, and make the decision.

Try renting a trailer house in Northern Minnesota some winter and get back to us on how you like it. I know a lady with a Park Model for sale north of Aitkin on a nice lake. What many think of a 'trailer house' vs a modern manufactured home is the difference between a go cart and a late model sedan. The new ones aren't trailer houses any more. They're made for the climate. Buncha lowbrows anyhow! Doncha know you have to have a lot of money to be a decent person? Or that's the opinion coming out of Montana. Quit picking on Jim... he is a nice guy.... jeesh

Spent a few of my younger childhood years living in what were then called "house trailers" when dad was following construction jobs. Sometimes we rented and a few dad and mom bought and dad pulled around from job to job with a flathead V8 '52 Ford Sedan. That was well before they became "mobile homes" and nowadays "manufactured homes".
House trailers back in those days were no bigger than small to at most medium size camping trailers are nowadays and not many even had inside toilets let alone separate bathrooms. Most trailer parks back then had a central "bath/wash house" with a few toilets, showers and a some old clothes wringers and big sinks to do laundry in that served for the residents of the entire park. For late at night there was the old reliable, "Thunder Pot", carried over to the bath/wash house and dumped the next morning.
As a kid living in construction worker trailer parks you learned quick to stash some "equalizers" somewhere handy to get to around your usual areas of play and paths of travel.

I would build a Ger and heat with dung. Them yurts are cool. Coupla wives to keep you warm in the winter. Some yak ghee. Coupla golden eagles for hunting wolves and foxes. Short stocky pony easy for me to get my stumpy legs over for a ride with my eagle on my arm. Hey, I live in steppe country........................I dream about this stuff. Who needs a doublewide anyway. Geno

I lived in an aluminum travel trailer in Soldotna, Alaska one winter. No heat, no power, just a place to throw down out of the snow. Hell, I was too stupid to realize how much fun I was havin'.

About 10 miles from Hinckley there is a gated community of homes about 1,200 I think Pathfinder Village is the name.
People are friendly, they all have electric golf carts. I was invited to see the fireworks one year. It was the best I have ever seen. I dare say they could tell you all about living in a factory built home. Some live there year round some just use as a summer home.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I camped out in a '72 Nomad for a bit. Try renting a trailer house in Northern Minnesota some winter and get back to us on how you like it.

Or that's the opinion coming out of Montana. Yah, how dare people post if they're not retired.

Drive out any back road around here and about half the dwellings will be mobile homes. Not alot of good paying jobs in these rural areas so alot of folks don't have much money. Upstate NY ain't exactly warm in the winter, hell it's 20* here right now and it's been snowing on and off for the past week. You can count on a few days of negative 10-20* with wind chills of negative 30-40* most winters. Folks get by just fine in mobile homes and alot of them are nicer inside than most of the houses in the area.

I would look at Timber Ghost Realty. They specialize in land and homes in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. It will give you someplace to start anyway. I know where you can find a used Park Model for sale.
