We are in a bit of a bind. We are trying to get insurance on a mobile home that has been on our property for some time now, our property policy expiring on July 7. The problem is that the mobile home has been heavily upgraded, and any identifying information on manufacturer and model has been lost. We know it was built in 1973 in Alberta, but beyond that we know nothing. We need at least some sort of best guess.

Whats the model number on your old policy, deed, real estate papers etc?

Records at your town hall?

inside my master bedroom closet is a sticker on the wall with everything about my mobile home. maybe check around inside your closets

Inside the closets or near the breaker box is the usual place for the build sticker.

I guess I wasn't clear in my op. This mobile has been heavily upgraded eg: the original cupboards gone, new closets, new studs, new outer plates , new siding, new windows, new electrical panel, new wiring, new plumbing, new heating, new siding, new roof, new insulation new flooring etc... there is very little of the original trailer left. The trailer hitch has been cut off and tossed. We are desperate here. Without insurance the bank will call our motgage we will lose property worth an excess of 450,000 all for a stupid mobile mobile home. HELP!!!

My best advise would be to drive through a few parks in your area and see if you can find a similar one. You are dealing with a 40 yr.old home here, the insurance company should give you some leeway here.

When I had my old place with the same ID problem we picked a name & made an ID #

Most mobiles have a identification plate attached to the frame under the home usually near or on the front cross member. Time to get dirty.

Sometimes it's die-stamped on the front cross member of the frame; pull skirting off front & center, have a wire brush, chalk or talc and a rag handy
