Trailer, Mobile Home or Modular Dwelling?
Posted on 2/21/24 at 11:34 am

For years I made sure to say Mobile Home just because Trailer can be derogatory and offensive to people who may live in one, especially single wides. But recently someone corrected me and explained how Mobile Home also can be demeaning and offensive. Ever since then, I've chosen Modular Dwelling, and I suggest that the rest of you think really hard about it and follow suit.
The correct term is definitely Modular Dwelling.

Mobile homes are anything built prior to 1997, or some year. All since are manufactured homes (edit: Modular is what poster below stated).
I believe it has to do with construction standards.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought modular homes were separate rooms assembled together on site. Nothing to do with wheels.

You should probably say Modular Dwelling by default just to avoid any uncomfortable situations or making someone else feel marginalized

Don't give a frick as long as I have a garage to work on the boat and other various shite while jamming out to "One Last Breath" by Creed with some garage beers.

I thought with or without wheels was the primary distinction.

I lived in a trailer for a few years while I was building my life up. That bitch had wheels under it and a trailer hitch to be hauled.
If you want to say mobile home, fine. Cause if I didn't pay each money, my home sure as shite could have became mobile.

I lived in a Modular Dwelling for a few years in my early 20s. There's something extremely therapeutic and calming about cranking up the window unit on super high in the middle of the summer and listening to it rattle the walls. Greatest way to doze off ever.

we refer to ours as the DW. it avoids all the hurtful names

For the money, it's pretty surprising how nice some of the modular homes are.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 12:17 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
If it has wheels it’s not a modular dwelling.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 12:23 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
If it has/had axles and/or wheels at any time in its existence,……….mobile home trailer. 
Posted on 2/21/24 at 12:25 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
Trailer House is the correct nomenclature.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 12:27 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
So the people who were previously called homeless can now be called trailerless or untrailered?

I live in a 2,400 sq ft 5 bedroom 4 bath manufactured home. On a full block crawl space. With wrap around porches. On 20 acres.
I'm classy trashy.

Yea. Modular homes and mobile homes are two separate things.
Modular homes require a foundation and comes on a truck.
Mobile homes come hooked to the truck.
