This really depends on you. Are you capable, have deep pockets and like doing this sort of thing? MH's are unique in rehabs in that you are dealing with restoring a vehicle and a house not just one or another. And the house must be able to travel down the road and still function at it's destination in varying terrain and weather. Simple things need to be addressed - is it road worthy, brakes, tires, suspension, frame etc. I mean tires alone will run you $2-3k. Then there is structural, is the roof good, the walls, is there mold, flooring etc? Then there is plumbing and electrical, and not just 120 but 12v and all the things both of those operate. Batteries, and lets not forget propane and all it's systems. There is a LOT to restoring a MH. It's a lot of time and a lot of money, neither of which you will recoup at the end. So, it really comes down to whether you want to do it, have the time and the means. It really does not matter what brand of MH. They are all very similar, parts are interchangeable and none hold their value.
