Mobile Homes and the AARP
Mobile
homes are very popular with retirees, and it is no surprise that the AARP
has a wealth of mobile
home resources for the manufacdtured housing buyer.
The AARP site has plenty of info about how to shop for a mobile home and how to protect yourself to insure that problems are covered under warranty. Much of this is common sense, like, "Look for a reputable dealer". Nevertheless, this is good reading for anyone before they shop for a mobile home.
Shopping for a strong warranty is another suggestion of the AARP article. One thing not mentioned in the article but which we feel is a good idea is to check for is UL Testing. Testing by Underwriter's Labs offers yet another protection to the consumer and helps insure a safe and reliable mobile home.
Whether or not you are retired, if you are in the mobile home market, check out the AARP site. Other AARP links include:
