RELOCATING
If you later want to relocate your home, you will need to find a moving company. Firms specializing in the moving of manufactured homes have offices in major cities, and are listed in the yellow pages. Their rates and practices are regulated by state agencies, or by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), depending on whether the move will cross state lines. Your cost will include permits and tolls, and the cost of any required flag cars.

After the move, spot-check the home to see if any damage has occurred, including such hidden damage as the selling of insulation material behind wall panels. It is a good idea to carefully examine the home for damage after every move, including the one to your initial site.
