What is a Double Wide?
A Double Wide is a type of manufactured home, also referred to as a mobile home, that consists of two separate units. These units are pre-constructed in a factory and are then joined together once they arrive onsite. Most double wides are at least 20 feet wide, but many are as wide as 28 to 32 feet. The length of your new double wide can also vary and will depend on your needs and budget. Although a double wide can be as long as 90 feet, our models typically range from 44 to 76 feet in length to offer you the best mix of functionality and practicality.
What's the difference between a Double Wide and Single Wide?
The main different between a double wide and a single wide is the size. A double wide is made up of two joint units, while a single wide consists of a single unit that is typically around 14 feet wide and between 32 and 76 feet long. Because of the difference in size and therefore also increased transportation costs, a double wide is going to be more expensive than a single wide. However, if a double wide is better suited to your family than a single wide, Home Nation offers several new and used double wide options to help make your new home as affordable as possible. No matter your budget, we will work with you to find the perfect double wide or single wide for your needs without breaking the bank.

What's the difference between a Manufactured home and a Stick Built home?
One of the most common questions we get about double wides is, “What makes a manufactured home different from a stick-built home?” The primary difference between the two is that manufactured homes are built in a factory and then transported to your lot. Site-built or “stick-built” homes are constructed directly onsite. Because they are built in a factory setting, manufactured homes come along with a wide range of benefits. For one, they are cheaper to build and are therefore typically more affordable than traditional stick-built homes. Secondly, manufactured homes are not subjected to the elements such as rain, snow, and ice while they are being built, unlike conventional site-built homes. Finally, manufactured homes like single wides and double wides are moveable, which is one of the many reasons why people choose manufactured homes over a conventional build. It’s also important to note that, unlike the mobile homes of the past, today’s manufactured homes are built to conform to the national Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code and are inspected, although they do not necessarily have to comply with local building codes. If you’re looking for a great mix of affordability and comfort, buying a double wide might make the most sense for you.
