RE: Package Unit vs Split System
Have a dumb question. For the goodman packaged the goodman website says "The GPG15 Packaged Gas Electric provides energy-efficient cooling and heating performance in one self-contained unit." . So the a/c is electric and the heating part is gas? I only have electric available for the home....

Re: RE: Electric hot water heater replacement
I recently changed from a traditional water heater to a on demand system. I love it. I got mine on ebay, I had to change the breaker to support the unit when it first comes on and I had to upgrade the wiring. But check this out, My house is all electric and my electric bill used to be over $400 a m...

remove caulking from inside of stainless steel sink
Who ever used caulking last in my trailer didn't clean up very well. There is dried chunky caulking or puddy in the stainless steel sink. There doesn't appear to be any actually down the drain just inside the sink. I have tried picking it out, using pliers(works better than fingers) and using the si...

RE: 'Mystery Meat' Mobile
Hi, I bought our mobile home without knowledge of make and model. I found out that it was a fleetwood on a plaque thing outside of the mobile home. Walk around your mobile home and look for some kind of identification. Also, people have said that other places to look for info are under kitchen sink,...

RE: Package Unit vs Split System
Interested in a packaged system as well. Our foreclosed mobile home purchase has no a/c or heater system. They pulled everything of value. I am guessing it will be $6000 for purchase and install of a 13 seer 5 ton packaged unit. Does that price sound about right? What would a split unit cost for tha...

using a caterpillar to move a mobile home?
My parents are using a company to move a single wide. Apparently the company wants to use a caterpillar to move the home the short distance. Is this normal? I thought they were going to use a truck. So, they are just going to pull the home on its wheels and hitch over to the spot(3000 ft to other si...

RE: foundation choices/finding contractor to put in foundati
I am really curious...how difficult would it be to do my own concrete footers(not the perimeter though)? My Family thinks that it could be done. I don't know how hard it would be but i am sure it would take atleast the permits which i don't even know if the city would approve us to do it ourselves. ...

So, it is a flleetwood.
Figured out what the mobile home we bought was. It is a 2000 fleetwood. I could not find a model # anywhere on the mobile home. I looked under the sink, closets, bathrooms,kitchen closet, by the doorway, outside the trailer(all i found was the fleetwood industries and the hud-seal code), etc. Hmm, h...

replacing triangular bathroom windows
i need to replace two triangular bathroom windows. Is there a place that has these online or do i need to get them custom made?
They don't open/close and are just for looks but they are broken through both the inside and outside section of the window.
