The land lease industry is trying to move away from the term "trailer parks", towards "manufactured home communities".  Whether you call them mobile homes or manufactured homes, they're the same thing.  Modular homes are something different, and can have concrete foundations.  Hawthorne Village has modular homes.  Park models are meant for recreational use and don't meet BC Building Code requirements for full-time residential use.  They actually have wheels on the frame under them, so they're the most 'mobile' of the lot.

 

Single wide manufactured homes come in one piece on the back of a truck, whilst double-wides come in two pieces and are stitched together on site.  There are a number of manufacturers in BC, including Moduline out of Penticton. They've been building them for about 40 years.

Try as they might, even a seasoned realtor can't polish this turd.

I think there should be a whole lot more of these RV and trailer parks. You want affordable housing - there it is.

[Redd42]

Wow - a few days ago you resurrected a VHF post. Now HB! 

[Matt R.]

That looks lovely.

The Trailer Park Boys series is an offensive stereotype. Some very nice T parks out there throughout the world

I have a very beloved family member who lived in one. They are a great affordable housing option. In my family members case, it was a modular home.

 

I was just trying to point out VWs resurrecting old forum threads, that were last active by some what "notorious" forum members who are no longer active.

I search commercial listings every day right up and down the island. This one just happened to fit this thread. No revival intended.

I’ve been to family weddings in mobile home parks. Lovely time.

So why aren't any politicians pushing these?

[Redd42]

So where are VHF and HB?

[LJ]

VHF is on the lam and HB got rebuffed too many times.

[todd]

Luckily VV now has VW to fill the gap.

Weird, there was a piece on cbc radio today about this exact thing.

We live in a modular set on top of a 8 foot finished basement, love it. Lots of those on salt spring.

CBC has been keeping tabs on VHF and HB?

VW and VHF have exactly the same posting style and content. Shrug
