mobil home with tank?

[Doug]

Wholley crap.....temperature swings..to cold or hot. Mobile/modular homes are not a shed out in the back...

Built same as a house, except for basement. Been in mine for 6yrs now and a new one awaits in Kamloops.

Anyways on to his question. I had a 90 for awhile. They have similar floor joists as a house, plus two large steel beams running length wise. I would still check with the builder or as someone mentioned have something professionally installed for a tank as large as a 180.

But then most do that under their floor for basement houses also. One good thing, again as mentioned, you can get under them and easily build a cribbing support to the ground.

Some like mine, have the 3/8th gyprock flex walls and are fully supported by cribs under the beams. Others, such as our new one, have regular 1/2in gyprock and require cement pillars under the beams.

So guess it depends on which type your purchasing, used or new?

Ours heats the exact same as a house. And air conditioning keeps it cool in the summer, same as a house and all at a cheaper price, depending on size. They come now in every size imaginable. I have seen 2500 sq. ft. homes to 800 or 900sq ft. Ours is 1216 sq ft.

The new place is a bit smaller at 1060 sq ft though. But my tank is only a 35g cube type

My sister in law owned a mobile home when she was attending college. It was an older model that was made in the early 80's and she complained that the furnace was always on in the winter and the AC was always on in the summer.


Just stay away from any that look like this...
