If the OP really wants sound advice/suggestions beyond the purely generic, he/she needs to provide a whole lot more information - is "Ricky" male or female? (Yes, that matters.) Is Ricky skilled in handling home repairs, will those skills, if any, transfer to a MH? The whole financial picture, prior RV experience - so much is left blank. The wording of the post isn't reassuring as to preparedness, but it does indicate a willingness to undertake due diligence.
I don't mean to be nit-picky, but this is a huge step and shouldn't be taken lightly by the OP or those giving advice. So please, OP, more info! If you know what you're doing, say so, If you are starting from scratch, say so louder!
