Hi, New member first post. Never had a MH and we are thinking about what it looks like to be an owner. I've read through some of the intro's and FAQ's, thank you so much for taking the time to pu...

Thanks for the replies so far.
I had a long serious talk with the boss last night and I guess we are going to adjust and likely not dump a bunch of liquid assets into a house down there. They do appreciate in value, but it is a perpetual buyers market. places will sit on the market for years, and they aren't "cheap" anymore.
What exactly does it mean "tag axle"?
Since we aren't going to buy a house down there, it will be more important I think to go bigger. We still plan to go to MX regularly so we will need to stay away from ULSD (unless it suddenly becomes an option before we jump in to the MH world). We can stay up to six months on tourist visa without any special hoops to jump through. There are a ton of MH sites along the riviera based on my initial research, so we can have week long stays at a lot of different places.
As it is now, we are going to sell everything and travel for a while. Trying to figure out where we want to live. Pacific NW is too cold/damp and summers too short, so we need to figure it out. Plans will probably change ten more times at least, but getting somewhere warmer will always be the primary objective.
I think the suggestions to go bigger make sense. Even though it is just the two of us and a dog, I can see where the <30' units might feel cramped after a while
What do you all consider to be too high mileage when it comes to a 2005/06 model?
Are there "stay away" VS "usually a safe buy" set of builders? (I know, I've done enough reading to know what I'm getting into and I might get different responses for the same manufacturer) Sounds like Manaco might be one of the more popular units? I see a lot of Tiffen's too. Holiday Rambler?
thanks
