What do mobil home makers call a mobile home frame?

Answer 1

Today's manufactured homes are built with the same building materials as site-built homes, but in a controlled factory environment where quality of construction is invariably superior to what can be done outdoors.

The HUD Code regulates and monitors the manufactured home's design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and overall quality. It also sets standards for the heating, Plumbing, air-conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. The HUD Code also ensures compliance with these standards with a thorough inspection system that takes place at each step as the home is being constructed in the factory.

There are major benefits to having your home built in a factory:

- All aspects of the construction process are quality controlled.

- The weather doesn't interfere with construction, cause costly delays and warp or damage building materials.

- All technicians, craftsmen and assemblers are on the same team and professionally supervised.

- Inventory is better controlled and materials are protected from theft and weather-related damage.

- All construction materials, as well as interior features and appliances, are purchased in volume for additional savings.

- All aspects of construction are continually inspected by not one, but several, inspectors.

Answer 2

That would be the 'trailer' type steel frame on which the home is built. - In mine it's made of 4 x 12 steel 'I' beam. Very heavy and strong.
