Our world is constantly changing with improvements making our lives better in thousands of ways, so it stands to reason that today’s mobile homes would also be a vast improvement from those built in the past. These improvements have caused many people to give mobile homes another look, so think about it -- you might just be surprised how far they’ve come.

• Improved Safety – Strict construction standards for mobile homes have led to many of the improvements, but one of the most important is that they are far safer than they used to be. Today’s mobile homes are no more prone to fire than traditional homes – in fact, a national study showed traditional housing is more than twice as likely to go up in flames.
• Improved Strength – Because of strict construction standards, today’s mobile homes are able to stand up to wind storms far better than in the past. Their improved wind resistance is particularly important to those in hurricane-prone areas.
• Improved Energy Efficiency – In response to new minimum energy regulations, mobile homes are now built to be far more energy efficient. Improved insulation and even improved ventilation standards make mobile homes far more desirable, both in terms of utility costs and comfort.
• Improved Life Span – The habitable life of mobile homes is longer than you might expect. Considering those built fifty years ago were lucky to last ten years, today’s mobile homes have an estimate of 50+ years, which is obviously a marked improvement.
