Double wide mobile home getting delivered

[@bctruck]

If you enter amazon through my link amzn.to/3lhFqKz I get payed a small percentage of whatever you spend there. It doesn't cost you any more and I don't know what you've bought. Many thanks to those that do use my link. Its greatly appreciated.

[@dannydunnagan3267]

I have seen a lot of mobile homes moved but that was the only and best way I have ever saw thanks for showing it I will tell everybody to watch this video.

[@bctruck]

Danny Dunnagan I’ve know that the “tugs” existed and I’m really glad they had one. It made the job far less messy.

[@Doxymeister]

Neat as a pin! And they made it look so easy...When my Mom and Dad had theirs delivered to their lake property about 30 years ago, those guys managed to back it in between trees from a nearly 45 degree turn, and get it positioned parallel to the cliff. Was just in awe of how they managed to do that without cutting a lot of trees. Your delivery guys did a great, professional job, and my hat's off to them!

[@bctruck]

Dawn Hernandez it is nice to watch people that work as a team and know what they are doing.

[@Vitamin-Q]

Awesome!!!... I don't know why but I could watch the mule work all day.

[@bctruck]

qfruge it was fun watching but I’d really love to operate it!

[@patriots1needed]

That’s great. Prayers and blessings over your new home. May it’s walls be filled with joy, peace, health and BACON!

[@bctruck]

patriots1needed thanks! Lots of bacon!

[@michiganhomesteader5325]

Awesome I bet y'all are very excited! That little yeller machine is pretty darn cool!

[@jcronk77]

Beautiful home and set up. Thank you so much for showing us how a mobilehome is set up.

[@bctruck]

jcronk77 tomorrow I’ll record them pulling the two halves together and leveling it.

[@ChiefAUS]

Congrats, you are one step closer to your forever home. Can't wait to see the next step of pulling them two halves together.

[@bctruck]

ChiefAUS thanks!

[@Volusiaev]

That little mule has some balls! I've never seen anything on how they does this type of thing. 57 and still learning!

[@bctruck]

Volusia-ev I can’t wait till tomorrow. They pull it together,level it and I’ll film it.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Amazing the advancements that have been made since ours was delivered in 1985. Had a pad like yours minus the concrete. All the work of getting the two haves in place was done by the tractor drivers. Was fascinating to watch the drivers jockey those halves in place. Still have the photo album (no video for us back then - didn't have a "movie" camera.) You're going to enjoy watching them over the next 3 days or so. Both inside and outside as they connect the "marriage wall" and all that entails. (Electrical, plumbing, siding, roof ridge, etc.) Probably even more so today, than it was back then. Enjoy my friend. For a lot of us, it's a once in a lifetime experience. Our's came in in July. Sat in lawn chairs, in the shade, and played sidewalk superintendent. :-)

[@bctruck]

Thanks! I’ll be playing supervisor/videographer tomorrow.

[@GrandsonofKong]

Well a bit late but know it's a great feeling to see you and your wife's new home delivered! Look forward to see how they squeeze those two big pieces together and make one!!

[@bctruck]

I can’t wait for that part! I’m gonna try not to get in their way

[@ginawoolsey]

Thanks for posting this! My double wide is supposed to deliver next week so this gives me an idea. Mine is a Clayton too.

[@bctruck]

Good luck!

[@northcountry32]

That's pretty cool. Glad things are progressing for you. Looking forward to the next video as always Brad.

[@bctruck]

northcountry32 thanks. The crew that pulls them together and puts them on blocks will be here in the morning. I’ll record that process too.

[@walt2t]

That is one cool piece of equipment. The hydraulic adjustment for the hitch was interesting and I can see why they have it.

[@bctruck]

walt2t as expensive as it was, it would take a bunch of deliveries to pay it off.

[@ladyhawthorne1]

Wow! That was cool, never saw a double wide done before. How exciting for you guys!

[@bctruck]

Recycled Cottage & Garden tomorrow I’ll film them pulling the two halves together.

[@HNXMedia]

Junior guy on that crew is crying. He will be the one cleaning all the mud off that crawler. Cool vid!

[@PlannerMemaw]

Wishing you the best in your new home. I can't wait to see it! My dad worked for Iseman mobile homes for years. He would haul them, set them up and rehab the repos so they could be resold. He used to drive the giant "toter" no other specialty vehicles. I learned a lot about mobile homes and hard work from him. My mom still lives in the 1976 double-wide they bought and dad improved over the years. My ex and I had a brand new 1997 Clayton for a time in the same trailer court my mom still lives.

[@VanLifeStorytelling]

Interesting layout for the foundation. I am not sure where this video was captured but it looked as though there is some red Georgia clay. I like the simple concept of the rows of concrete vs an entire concrete slab. I have a 8x16 tiny home to be delivered to my property in north Florida and the soil base is quite sandy. Therefore, I am thinking about getting some caliche base or some compacting gravel and build some rows of concrete as you have.

[@bctruck]

I’m in Waskom Texas. I’ve been here 4 years now and no settling, no cracking Sheetrock and no doors that aren’t square.

[@VanLifeStorytelling]

@@bctruck Good for you.

[@xzkt]

That is sure a lot different than when they delivered my home 20 yrs ago.lol I’m looking forward to seeing the set-up finished and you getting moved in. If I didn’t live 1000 miles away, I would volunteer to help you move! Phil

[@misty2782]

Really happy for you all. But still kinda of sad you didn't end up nearer to me. Can't wait to watch the second crew come in and finish up.

[@bctruck]

Mistyvalley the second crew will be here tomorrow. I’ll record that to.

[@sissymurphy9620]

good luck .My house took 2 cranes to get it onto the basement and house is 2440 sq. ft .Mine is a modular but love factory built homes and would do one again if I ever have too .set price no over runs and not subjected to weather when built and no big delays because of weather .I had a delay in set up also because of rain back in 2004 .My dream retirement home

[@chrisrobinson2112]

Very nice! Can't wait for the next video!!

[@bctruck]

Chris Robinson me too! That means one step closer to sleeping in it!

[@ladyb003]

That was amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing. Take care

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

You had to pull the trigger man. It seems to never stop raining around here. You need to spring for some custom wheels! 🤣 Glad to see it on the pad finally.

[@bctruck]

Just Plain Common Sense I’m gonna put some mud grips on it so we can take it out four wheeling!😂

[@greghomestead8366]

Looking good.👍 Happy for you two. Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan

[@bctruck]

Greg Homestead thanks!

[@robjtko]

When that gentleman said $25,000.oo for that dozier I was already headed out the door do go buy one. I knew that didn’t sound right so I kept watching. Then I heard the real price. $65,000.oo. That sounded much more believable. Neat rig!!

[@darla3021]

That was so interesting to watch. Very impressive to see how professional they were. And all without a huge clean up afterwards! Can't wait to see how it gets pulled together. And.........the big question.......with all the rain and subsequent mud, will Brad get to go inside? Stay tuned!!!!

[@bctruck]

Dar La I’m afraid I’ll have to live under it until August !😂

[@jimdawn6]

Nice work crew!

[@andystennesseelife7016]

It's here it's here it's here! Man I bet y'all are happy for sure!

[@bctruck]

LOL!!! It’s here!!! It’s still gonna be a week or more before we can move in, but at least it’s finally delivered

[@vaneskak1579]

Wow you are lucky !I just bought a double wide home and we did everything that they said to do to be able to move the house in properly,and then the trucking company shows up and "cant get it in"but after we paid an extra $7,000 it was all good!always read the fine print lol@

[@vaneskak1579]

And we had the People in today to do the gas and they were under the house and there Is a large area under the laundry room where all the insulation is soaking wet.these homes seem simple but all we have had are problems. I could go on lol...

[@kazuza9]

Did you have a video for the clay pad on ground and how it was done?

[@bctruck]

No, I didnt record that.

[@moblackbird]

Can't wait to see how they put the halves together. Very interesting.

[@bctruck]

MOblackbird I’ll show that video tomorrow evening. They won’t be here until morning.

[@ncautoman57]

I have never seen a remote controlled mover...wow high tech. They sure knew their job. Take care

[@bctruck]

ncautoman57 i knew about them and I was hoping they had one. It made the damage to the yard far less than it would have been if they used the trucks to pull them onto the pad.

[@SiCkDiAbLo]

Happy for ya, I know ya'll went thru a lot with this home project...Stress, Nerves, but it's all worth it...Exhale...!!!

[@bctruck]

Junior D thanks! I didn’t think we would ever get it here!

[@trollforge]

Did you see that? That lad lifted each half of the house into position using nothing but his thumbs!

[@bctruck]

LOL!!😂😂

[@ElliesChaoticWorld]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JoeBonez]

OK, that mule thing is the coolest thing ever

[@JaymeVanAuken]

First time I've ever seen one moved like this. Very interesting

[@oldpup4810]

Have I said "Welcome to Texas"? The first couple of years in the Houston area we lived in SW Houston. It seemed like everytime they said 20% chance of rain, we got flooded in our area. :) Yeeee ha an RC tractor, did you get to play with it? :)

[@bctruck]

I was tempted to ask if I could give his 65000 dollar to ya go, but thought he might not.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Wow...that was kinda cool!

[@bctruck]

Chris DIYer it was interesting to watch. The setting up should be good too. They won’t get here until tomorrow though.

[@bkjustice9390]

Never knew they had such a thing as a house tug. You could do a lot with that machine.

[@bctruck]

BKJustice I really would love to play that life size video game!

[@Paulman50]

I'd say that the plates wouldn't be to stop the ruts so much as to stop the trailer sinking up to its axels in mud. Nice house welcome home.

[@bctruck]

Paulman50 thanks! Two more weeks and we’ll be in it!

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Tend to agree with you. Getting one of those stuck wouldn't be fun. Nor do they want the liability for potential damage if those chassis frames twist too much. Easy to get drywall cracks and worse.

[@moviemakerwannabe]

That was very interesting. It's good to know that they can minimize the ruts. Did the sales people help you find the people to do the dirt work and concrete work? What do you do about water lines or other utility hook ups? Clayton makes some very nice homes. I'm excited for you, this is really cool!

[@bctruck]

moviemakerwannabe they wanted me to use their people but I contracted the work out to people I chose. I’m getting the plumbing and electric done for less than half what they were going to charge me. The dirt work was $2000 less than what they wanted. The only thing I’m letting them use their folks for is delivery and leveling it.

[@yoyoglock4]

That was cool!! I would have to ask to play with their remote control tank..lol.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I know the pain of the rain when you're waiting for a delivery like this!

[@bctruck]

It’s mind boggling the amount of rain we’ve had, then we finally get a few days with no rain and decide to take a chance and have it delivered. That morning it started raining again even though the chance was only 10 percent. It’s finally here and the damage was far less than I expected.

[@larissagladfelter9570]

That's an unusual corner window. I have worked at Clayton homes in pa for about a year and haven't seen one like that.

[@bctruck]

I like it! We have a tall kitchen table there and it overlooks nothing but green trees and my wifes flowers.

[@bingo45373]

[@bctruck]

Ak Fred Ward it’s probably to cold for mobile homes in Alaska.

[@trentswinarchuk3881]

how much did it cost to deliver and set up? did it depend on the distance that they had to haul the home?

[@bctruck]

Delivery was free, building a pad for it to go on was $7500.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Honestly, I was pretty amazed to see such steep ramps for that mover. Having loaded, and unloaded many tracked machines in the past, my butt puckered when I saw that unload and load happening. I can't even imagine how much that machine costs, I'm guessing 20k might be a good down payment on it though.......

[@bctruck]

JimsEquipmentShed $65,000 !!! I was shocked when he told me how much it cost!

This one was around $80,000. Plus about $10,000 worth of dirt and concrete work, then $700 to hook it up to sewer/water/electricity. I sold my old house and payed this house off less than 6 months after buying it.

I have nothing but good things to say about mine. All the little flaws, they fixed to my liking and it’s been a great home. I think who you buy from is as important as brand. There is a ton of work before and after placing the home that a good dealer will walk you through.
