DUST, DUST and more DUST.. where is it coming from..

We live in an 8 year old mfg home and have been battling excessive interior dust accumulation ever since day one... So far to correct the problem I have done the following things: Checked all
windows for leaks, cleaned heating vents and ducting, installed extra filters at each floor duct, cleaned Coleman furnace cage fan, checked laundry dryer vent for leaks, sealed all water and drain pipes where they come thru the floor, gasketed all power outlets, changed furnace filters monthly (never really that dirty) , professionally cleaned all carpets and furniture, checked doors for air leaks, checked throughout house for tell tale signs of dirt being sucked in from outside... that is about all I can think of.. BUT.. still the excessive interior dust continues.. Neighbors in mfg homes don't have the same problem.. Any ideas where it could be coming from... At first I thought thru bathroom ceiling vents when they were off and furnace was on.. doesn't seem to be the case but I am lost.. don't know where to look? Any ideas or have you experienced this problem?
