A total of 8 regional manufacturers and 40 manufactured home dealers participated in the Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA) Residential Construction Demonstration Project (RCDP). The RCDP objective of marketing, manufacturing, and siting 150 homes built to Super GOOD CENTS (SGC) specifications to meet the region's Model Conservation Standards (MCS) was reached in April, 1989. To assess the dealer component of the project, a dealer exit survey was initiated in May, 1989, and completed in June, 1989. The Washington State Energy Office (WSEO) conducted the interviews, summarized the data, and provided magnetic and hardcopy documentation to BPA. Interviews were conducted by telephone with 39 of the 40 participating dealers (one dealer ceased business operations and could not be contacted). Questions were focused in three areas: set-up, marketing/selling, and general experience.
