I live in a manufactured home in FL. Ours is a 2005 model built to withstand 130 MPH winds. Research the laws of the state where you plan to live. They are different. And if you can visit the factory where the homes are made. Take the tour and see how it is done. Each Manufacturer does things a little differently. What is an option (read that costs more) for one manufacturer may be included at another one. There are reasons for the price differences. Then decide if you want to live in a park. I would suggest one that is resident owned. That keeps your options open for the future. Or on your own land.
Whatever you decide, do your homework up front.
I would add, today's manufactured homes are very different from the mobile homes of yesteryear.
