The problem

Mobile homes have their own winter weak spots

In a mobile home, the water lines run under the home, the belly wrap holds the insulation that protects them, and the skirting keeps the wind off. When one of those fails, a line freezes, and frozen lines are the most common mobile home winter repair. This checklist starts underneath, then covers the roof, heat, drafts, and safety. It also gives you a plan for a frozen line and steps for leaving the home empty over winter.

Who it's for

Mobile and manufactured home owners in places with freezing winters
First-time owners getting ready for their first winter
Anyone leaving a mobile home empty for part of the winter
Park residents and owners on their own land
