In the early 80's I had a 14 x 80 ft mobile home in Biloxi Ms. We had two king size water beds at either end a 55gal tank in the middle. During hurricane Elena, we only lost the skirting on the trailer when there were homes nearby that sufferred alot of damage.

Also, I've seem some double wide homes/pre-manufacured homes in Florida that were simply gorgeous. With the Southern Building Codes, they're made with 2 x 6 stud walls, better then most stickbuilt homes.

I had a cousin in NC who had a 240 in his double wide mobile home. The tank broke before the trailer did. lol

I was in no way referring to his wealth or anything else i just did not know if a trailer with no modifications would hold up. and i live in southeast alabama and there are not too many trailers on concrete here. you gottta leave them on wheels incase you want to move. just kidding but most are just sat on blocks.
