@Building Performance Center - Opportunity Council I typed, "how are mobile homes made" into Google and then switched to the Video tab because I actually wanted a look to see how they are made. Your video here was the 4th one down and the most informative and to the point video. The other three were absolutely garbage and the KZbinrs presented themselves like, 'home boys', 'professional', 'knowledgeable' and the worse way to present in a KZbin video is to come across like a cheesy sales man by assuming we'd be his friend or are his friends. The first video had the most views but after 10 minutes into it, I had to press the down vote button and I had to refrain from leaving a nasty comment. Though he claimed his video would show a mobile home from start to finish, he missed a lot of parts and thought his street style explanations: homie, boy, hood, crib... etc.. would make logical sense in any way. Sad he's at least mid 30's if not older acting like he is a teenager by using their slang poorly. It makes both him and his channel a joke. The second video was similar only the presenter claims he actually works in a plant that manufactures mobile homes. He didn't use street slang like the bozo in the first video, but instead of presenting the clip as informative and profesional. He presented it with useless Instagram selfies which included him in weird awkward positions posing for the selfie. Pointless and just like the first video, was too full of fluff and no substance as when he went into the actual plant he already missed the creating of the base part and there seemed to be insulation on a base already and he figured he's start from there. The asinine part even though he claims to work there. He isn't part of the assembly line in anyway. The dufus is a janitor. So him presenting something he knows nothing about is annoying at best. The third video was a woman who like the two men ahead of her video seemed to start the video in the middle of production as if the humble beginnings were too boring to them yet they all three listed their videos as a, "start to finish" explanation on how a mobile home is made. This 4th video after the intro I am a bit more engaged and informed yet wondering why a video only made or posted four years ago is being shot from a device using an ancient and I mean 25+ year format of a 4:3 ratio frame when everyone is using HD at least 1280x720, 1600x900 or 1920x1080. This ancient format seems it was shoot on an old school video cam. As engaging as your video is. Even a mobile phone camera can do a better job as ones made after 1996 all use the 16:9 HD format. Unless of course you're using an old flip phone circa 1995 and earlier. Good video, only upgrade it the current standards. About 99.9% of computers, monitors and even Smart phones use a minimum of 16:9 frame ratio with the newer Smart phones pushing the envelop to 21.5:9 like it is on my phone (Cubot KingKong Star 2460x1080). But this video also lacks the substance I was looking for. So onto the 5th one on the Google search results. Not perfect and like the first three, still missing a lot of parts which he thought still images and vector graphics would suffice. You know even a child knows how to shoot a KZbin video. Don't point the camera down on someone kneeling. Lower the camera man to their level so we can see them eye-to-eye. And frankly unless the host was tired, why was he kneeling? I'd rate this video a 4 out of 5. Not bad, but not great either.

I lived in a mobile home for 19 years had zero problems with mine.

I need you guys. I just had a new roof installed on my double wide and now am experiencing respiratory issues. Not sure what happened. I want to replace all of the ductwork to be safe. Can you recommend someone who is as experienced as you in Wellington Florida?

He double checks his work with a Meer!😏👍

This is so educational video.

You'd have to pay me a million dollars to crawl underneath there 😷

That's not the way you insult a mobile home

What does this cost?

How much does it cost

Thank you.

What year is that home? About to close on a 2005 DW. I hope they did a good job sealing all the duct work. I do not want to go under it and start cutting holes in the belly board and chasing ducts for sealing connections.

What does it cost?

Yes sir .Thanks did my share modular hvac service work but Not Much Duct work till now !!! So tks for the all the tips & tricks

Hows those masks they fog up on ya??

Thank you so much for this video. I was getting birds nest on the back of my projects but it was random... it sews great and then jams.. I looked at my bobin case and it looks like every few times the thread is not catching. I am going to try to raise my bobin case plates like you show and see if that works.

I bought a 2000 Oakwood single wide mobile home new.the end where the blower was stayed cool and warm but the farther you go to the other end the worst it got. I do heating and air conditioning.i tore out the unit inside and made a nice linen closet.i set a package unit outside and ran all new duct work and cut new vents in the floor under the windows.also but multiple returns in also.now it’s comfortable in all the rooms.

If you buy a new one , get a mobile with standard rated R value and good weather protection from the factory, In Canada some are R 40 floors

Use ice and water shield has a sticky side ,then staple

Great video, but I had to laugh when talking about vapor barrier. I live in the desert and that vapor barrier would last until the next flash flood comes up my drive way and washes it out into my backyard. I'm still trying to figure out how to replace the cheap plastic skirting that blows out every time we get high winds (60+mph winds). What you do would be great for those that live in a mobile home park or on a lot in town, but not out where I live. Thanks for sharing.

A mobile home should be set up like it's over a basement with no insulation under the floors. Just insulate the skirting and Heat The Underneath. Now you have heated floors and access to all the plumbing if necessary.

I have mobile home 1969 I just bought and middle bedroom has no heat vents? There's no heat in that room. Hard believe no heat in bedroom for 53 years? Could someone have covered vent up over years,?

Maybe not all mobile/manufactured homes are the same? I'm in a 3300 square foot Triplewide with an attached climate controlled two car garage. All of my flex duct supply lines are all suspended from the frame in my crawl space the band anchors are run up through the plastic belly barrier and insulation not through the belly of the trailer like this i have three 16 inch flex trunk lines one down the center that is connected directly to the bottom of my air handler with 10 12 inch crossovers 5 branched off to each side from the center one and all 3 runs are the length of the trailer with 8 inch branches coming off here and there going to the vents through the insulation and belly cover. It was like this from the factory the 8 inch 4x10 supply boots for all the vents were all suspended through the insulation and belly cover waiting for the duct system to be attached it came like that from the manufacturer. Maybe they don't use the belly ducts like they do on double wide trailers as they do in triple wide manufactured homes? My triple wide was actually brought in in 8 different sections that they put together on the site on top of a crawl space that was pre-dug deep enough that you could stand underneath the dwelling instead of crawling around unlike a double or single wide the frame and axles did not remain they picked the sections up off a trailer and set them in place on an 8-ft Pier concrete foundation. with a massive crane but for all intents and purposes it is classified as a mobile/manufactured home. Which is a whole nother ball game that doesn't make sense to me.

Cool video ty

Does the type of skirting make a difference to keep cold air from swirling around under the house?

Why is this not done at the time of manufacture? It doesn't matter where it will delivered to, warm or cold climates. When you insulate it protects the home from any weather to keep the utilites as low as possible.

Need more videos on this page. Have a good day.

Thank you for the videos.

I'm in Kentucky and I had some plumbing repairs done but the underbelly wasn't repaired. Looking for people to do this because I have cold spots in my home.

I didn't realize all the work, maintenance that should be done underneath a mobilehome to keep everything quality. I love mobilehomes!!!

What kind of block? Wood?

Watch NEVER BUY A CLAYTON MANUFACTURED HOME on KZbin and see how these people really treat people

Very well done. Thank you for the detailed information.

The previous owner of my mobile home was eligible for weatherization program and they blew the foam in underneath the belly of the mobile home but they did nothing else. That was back in 2018 and would it be too late to put some kind of a belly board up now? There is no one who does mobile homes near me or even the radius of about 50 miles. As much as I like watching these videos I get very frustrated because there's nothing I can do.

How do I find people to do this in the area I live in? What are these techs called?

I have tons of mobile home videos this is a good video. Thank

What type of mastic or where do you buy it?

Where do you guys work at??

What if the ducts or in the ceiling

What's a reason there would be 2 crossover ducts

Informative video. Thank you!

Great video Chris and the BPC!!

How do I fix the vent is last room..... doesn’t blow real good.... stays cold in bathroom

Best video I’ve seen yet thanks so much!

Ooold video. Overkill on the sealing. Hope your minions moved on to a respectable job or trade. Modular homes suck.
