Re: Double Wide Add On


You might want to Google 'adding on to a mobile home'. I did this search and there are actually quite a few "articles" on the topic.

Re: Double Wide Add On


In my state (NM) mobile homes are regulated by a different division of state government than construction. They have different rules, different codes, different inspection processes, different inspectors. I've been called about doing these in the past. I pass. This is a can of worms I don't want to open.

Re: Double Wide Add On


thom, the same applies here. They are considered vehicles, have to be licensed, registered, etc.

Under the right condtions they can move faster than many cars.
