Giles Mobile Homes - New unit
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2007 11:42 am
I was wondering if anyone in the forum has had any experiences with "Giles Industries Mobile Homes" they are a division of "SE Homes" http://www.gilesindustries.com/index.html
There is a mobile home park in my area that has brand new 3 bedrooms for rent, I am considering renting one of these units and i was just curious as to the "reputation" of the manufacturer. It's brand new, never been lived in before. I know, it's a mobile home, what do i expect, right? I just want to know about the workmanship really. Do they last a reasonable amount of time. What are somethings I should look for in a mobile home. I am not buying one, so I don't have to front the cost of repair and maintenance, but on the other hand i don't want be calling the repair man every other day either. I have already seen the inside of the exact model i will be renting http://www.gilesindustries.com/FP.php?m=C6372A&w=16&f=0
and it seems to be a pretty nice unit. The only thing I notice is the some of the molding strips along the trim and wall seams are coming off, they were just staple tacked up there so i will have will have to put small brads in them to reinforce them. Other than that it seems OK. What can i expect in the winter months. I live in Greeneville, TN (Eastern TN) at the foothills to the mountains.
Thanks in advance for your comments and help.
