Book ·
OSTI ID:6144420
Information and tabulated data are presented on mobile home production, purchases, use, location, household composition and age, initial cost and upkeep, insurance, safety, and weatherization. It is concluded that existing mobile homes are not an economical alternative to conventional housing, weatherizing them is difficult, and they are energy inefficient. Newer mobile homes are improving but until these improved units are in widespread use, existing mobile homes should be retrofitted with limited weatherization techniques to achieve energy conservation.
