Have you seen any mobile homes 'using asbestos' ? I look at and work in many and have not seen any asbestos -just conventional construction.
New mobile homes can be purchased online at most of the manufactures websites. This includes companies such as Clayton Homes, Expo Mobile Homes, and Skyline Homes.
No. Mobile homes are not real property.

SIC 2451 applies to MOBILE HOMES.
Yes, asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as plaster 50 years ago. If you suspect asbestos in your home, it's best to have it tested by a professional and, if found, consider appropriate removal or encapsulation measures to prevent exposure and health risks.
Since Jim Walter Homes was building houses in the US from 1946 through the end of the 20th century, it is likely that some products containing asbestos were used in some of the homes they built. It is also likely that most of the later homes built did not contain any asbestos products. To determine whether asbestos-containing materials are present in any particular house, a careful survey by a qualified inspector would be needed. This would include the collection and analysis of samples of particular building materials.
The cost of the insulation and cancer if you decide to use asbestos
Titles for mobile homes began to be issued in the U.S. with the implementation of the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. This act established federal standards for mobile homes and introduced the concept of issuing a title for mobile homes similar to that of vehicles. As a result, mobile homes produced after this date were required to have titles.
There is no stigma for modular homes that I know of,but a lot of people are miss informed about modular construction. Most people are confusing mobile homes with modular homes and there is a stigma about mobile homes and mobile home parks. Another confusing part is the term that is used to describe mobile homes. The term "Manufactured Housing" has been adapted by the mobile home industry to alleviate the stigma of mobile homes. Of course uninformed people bundle modular homes in this mix since modular homes are constructed in a manufacturing facility and are transported, but that is where the similarity if any ends.
Asbestos is no longer used in homes and buildings due to its serious health risks, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, which have been linked to asbestos exposure. Regulatory actions, such as the banning of asbestos in many countries, were implemented after the dangers became widely recognized. Additionally, safer alternative materials have become available, making the use of asbestos unnecessary in construction and insulation. Consequently, the focus has shifted to protecting public health and removing existing asbestos materials from older buildings.
Mobile Home sales can be found at MHVillage, which has nationwide listings. Other resources are Fleetwood Homes and Clayton Homes, which are manufacturers of mobile homes.
Many older homes are still in use with asbestos siding. As long as the asbestos is not damaged and is sealed off, there is little danger at the moment. If the asbestos is damaged or frayed, the home is possibly dangerous and the siding should be removed. To prevent asbestos from becoming a threat, cover it with vinyl or have it painted over with a thick layer of vinyl paint.
