3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the price they're selling it for, July 9, 2005
This review is from: The Manual for Manufactured/Mobile Home Repair and Upgrade (Plastic Comb)
This book has very good pictures and detailed instructions, but is basically something you could put together at any copy store. It has the plastic ringed connector, and looks like a paperback manual someone copied for me. It definitely isn't worth the new price of $39.95 and still not worth the used price of $20-25. It's more useful for an actual trailer than a manufactured home and leaves out a lot of the more realistic details for upgrade that someone might want to do to make this look less like a trailer inside.

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep looking......, June 10, 2003
This review is from: The Manual for Manufactured/Mobile Home Repair and Upgrade (Plastic Comb)
Too light-weight. I recommend the Foremost book instead. It's more professionally done with comprehensive information.

This review is from: The Manual for Manufactured/Mobile Home Repair and Upgrade (Plastic Comb)
This book was very general and lacked diagrams and specific instructions. I would recommend another book called Foremost Mobile Home Fix It Guide: Your Manufactured Home Repair Book. Amazon offers a deal on both books, but if you get the foremost book you really don't need the other.
