Best Answer

All trailer homes are mobile homes, but not all mobile homes are trailer homes. Normally trailer homes can be towed all in one piece, while mobile homes, especially double-wides, must be towed in two pieces (normally two halves).

Ans 2 - Normally, a trailer home just needs to hitch to the truck and away you go. A mobile will need to be jacked up, have wheels and often axles and tow bar installed, and septic drain, electricity and water supply all disconnected.

What is the difference between a modular home and a mobile home?

I believe Modular Homes are built in sections while a mobile home is one piece. Mobile homes probably move more easily. Modular Home = Factory-built housing with onsite assembly and some onsite construction that is built to meet state and local codes and does not have a chassis. Mobile Home = Trailer or trailer-like dwelling unit (has a chassis and removable wheels) manufactured in a factory and designed to be transported to a site and semipermanently attached. The preferred industry term is manufactured housing.
