5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for New Owners of Mobiles, September 13, 2000

By	J. Larson "avid reader" (Englewood, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a mobile home last year, and even though I'm fairly handy with home repair and maintenance, I found that mobile homes have unique features not usually addressed in general do-it-yourself books. Floors, roofs, siding, anchoring, ceiling panels, and windows are just a few of the areas where specialized information is really helpful, and this book covers them all. Plus, everything you need to do is explained in step-by-step fashion with plenty of pictures and helpful hints and tips. Projects are grouped into topic sections covering exterior, interior, systems (plumbing, electrical, heating), and seasonal, safety & security. The book also includes information on closing up your home for the season, pest control, insurance on your home, energy conservation, hiring good help, other resources for mobile home owners, a glossary of terms, a brief history and overview of mobiles, and much more. A great reference to have on hand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Foremost Mobile Home Fix It Guide : Your Manufactured Home R, September 28, 2001

By A Customer

As a retirement project this summer we purchase a mobile home as a camp on the St. Lawrence River. It is a 1987 model and in need of some repair. I have a lifetime of experience remodeling and repairing the houses we have live in. All of them conventional stick built houses. Some of my knowledge and experience does transfer to a mobile home but they are a different. This is a valuable how to book for anyone who owns or plans on owning a mobile home as their full-time home or as seasonal home. As in any building one cannot just cut into a wall or a floor without knowing what is inside or if something may be damaged. This book provides cut away diagrams of the ceilings, walls and floors and instructions on making repairs to each. It also provides instruction for for repair or replacement of all segments of the entire plant: plumbing, wiring, windows, doors, etc. This is definitely a must guide for the experienced handyman or the novice.

This book is right on the mark. It covers all the usual repair and remodel projects with clear instructions and excellent, color illustrations. Pays for itself in the first project.
