Manufactured Home Set-up Manual
This 188 page manual was written by HUD to help instruct installers in the proper method of setting up a mobile home. Although you may not ever set up your own home, this manual would keep you informed as to what your installer should be doing. It can also help you find and solve set-up problems which may presently be causing issues with your home. This manual was written to compliment (not replace) your home's installation manual and state/local regulations. Not intended to be a course of study. Updated in 1999.
