Also there is a bond wire that bonds the two frames together it is usually at the tail end and the lugs and wire are shipped on the unit but putting the wire in the hole and tightening it seems to be too much work for some crews.
Too many people seem to think that bonding is there just for the heck of it.
I hooked up a mobile home yesterday (the one in
this thread ) and paid particular attention to all the bonding on the chassis. With a few years of weathering and then the vibration of the unit being transported, I think the safety bonding should
always be checked carefully before connection.
To tell you guys the truth, I wouldn't mind a doublewide or modular on MY own land, NOT in a trailer (sorry, "Manufactured Housing) Park, with NO lot-rent, NO crap rules, etc.
Ian,
I've often thought the same way myself. I could quite happily have a double-wide to use as my home and then get a good single-wide unit to fit out as an office/workshop/storeroom.
The biggest problem we have with that over here is the pettiness of the local councils who often object to
any sort of housing other that what they call conventional (i.e. brick built).
