About products and suppliers

As a brand new housing option that is more cost-effective and convenient than traditional apartments and studios, mobile homes not only offer easy transport ability for home-buying but also are available in flexible sizes and layouts.

Types of mobile homes

There are various types of mobile homes for sale at Alibaba.com. Mobile homes can be divided based on function. The first type of the mobile home is a modular home. Modular homes are affordable housing solutions designed for people who are looking for temporary housing plans. Modular homes are usually a series of rooms that are proximal to each other, and as the connected rooms are prefabricated, the construction process is rapid. The second type of mobile home is trailer home. Trailer homes are small and container-like houses loaded with bogey contact rollers. Trailer homes can be attached to the back of a vehicle, therefore, they are famous for easy transportation and being affordable compared with traditional housing options. Trailer homes are also known as manufactured homes for sale, and they come in various sizes as well.

If customers are not looking for mobile homes according to the function, then the classification of the number of sections also works. The three types of mobile homes are single-wide mobile home, double-wide mobile home, and triple-wide mobile home. A single-wide mobile home consists of one section, and their width ranges from 12 to 18 feet, while double-wide trailers’ width ranges from 20 to 36 feet. A triple-wide mobile home can hold up to three sections and is 30 to 54 feet in width.

Utilization of mobile homes

The uses of mobile homes are versatile. Customized to fit all kinds of needs, mobile homes are suitable for construction sites and factories. They provide transitory living spaces for factory workers and play the role of offices as well. Plus the assembly of modular homes is easy so it takes a comparatively short time to assemble and destroy modular homes, which makes them fitted for temporary housing for refugees and under-privileged people. On the other hand, trailers are appropriate for business uses and individual households. The mobility of trailer homes makes them a fit for customers who travel frequently or have the need to move in and out of the place frequently. Another utilization of trailer homes is kitchen cars, where small business owners can use trailer homes for the purpose of movable restaurants on the road. While single and double-wide mobile homes are fitting for factories and small households, triple-wide mobile homes, otherwise, can serve as vacation sites. That is because triple-wide mobile homes can be used as luxurious outdoor relaxation spaces. Apart from basic room functions such as bedrooms and bathrooms, triple-wide mobile homes have spaces for balconies and recesses.
