Do you dream of expansive floor plans? Are you the kind of homebuyer who always thinks big and wants a fully-equipped home that provides maximum comfort? If that sounds like you, then you should know about the options for quadruple wide mobile homes that are now available.

Quadruple wide mobile homes are the largest and most spacious type of mobile home, and many homebuyers who want more space are investigating these super-sized manufactured home floor plans. Let’s take a look at what quadruple wide mobile homes have to offer and how a homebuyer can learn about their options.

What Are Quadruple Wide Mobile Homes?

First, let’s review some terms that refer to mobile home sizes. Any type of manufactured home other than a single wide is known as a multi-section manufactured home. A quadruple wide mobile home is a multi-section home that has four sections.

A multi-section home is manufactured in two to four complete sections which are delivered to the home site via a manufactured home transport company. When the home sections arrive at the site, trained professional manufactured home installers will join them together at a seam called the marriage line. The marriage line is reinforced with gasketing that keeps moisture and debris out of the space between the home sections.

Quadruple wide homes offer more space for the homebuyer’s money than any other type of manufactured home. In addition, as we’re about to discuss, a quadruple wide mobile home is often packed with luxury features and design options.

What You’ll Find in a Quadruple Wide Mobile Home

A quadruple wide mobile home gives the homebuyer more of everything. You’ll get more space, more features, more bedrooms, more bathrooms, and more home in general. For a homebuyer who wants to maximize the value of their investment and live in a home with ample space, a quadruple wide mobile home can be a great buy.

Today’s quadruple wide mobile home models often include features such as:

• Elegant window designs that provide plenty of natural light, often including bay windows or picture windows
• Contemporary kitchens that may include island counters, granite countertops, luxury appliances, and tile backsplashes
• Open floor plans that create an airy, pleasant, and flowing ambiance for your home
• A luxurious and appealing master bathroom suite with a full shower and tub
• At least four bedrooms and two bathrooms, sometimes more
• Multiple gathering spaces such as living rooms, family rooms, and media rooms
• Outdoor attached structures such as porches, sunrooms, decks, and garages

Quadruple Wide Pricing

How much does the average quad wide cost? Well, according to recent mobile home pricing estimates, multi-section homes run around the $102,000-$103,000 range. Compared to other homes that fall into the multi-section category, given their large size, you may find quad wide trailer homes at slightly higher price points as well.

Quadruple Wide vs. Modular Home

Quadruple wides and modular homes are often confused. Both modular homes and quadruple wide mobile homes provide a great value for buyers, but it’s important to be aware of how the two differ.

The key difference is that a modular home is built to comply with state and local building codes. In a quadruple wide mobile home, on the other hand, each individual section of the home must conform to the HUD code, a federally enforced law that regulates the safety and quality of manufactured homes. Both modular homes and quadruple wides can provide a great housing solution and owners of quadruple wide mobile homes can rest assured that their homes are constructed to the same rigorous standard, regardless of which state or city they live in.

How Can I Get a Quadruple Wide Mobile Home?

Not every home manufacturer offers quadruple wide mobile homes. In some cases, a quadruple wide mobile home must be custom-built. This process is still usually much faster and less expensive than building a site-built home of comparable size, since a quadruple wide mobile home is built in highly controlled factory conditions and always assembled by professionals trained and certified to work with the specific building materials used.

The best way to find a quadruple wide mobile home is to contact manufactured home dealers in your area. Ask your local manufactured home dealer whether they offer quadruple wide models or if it’s possible to have a quadruple wide mobile home custom built for you. Ordering a custom quadruple wide mobile home is also a great way to ensure that your home has all of the features and design elements that you want.

Double wide manufactured homes are among the most popular styles of affordable housing in America. These spacious and attractive homes are a great option for any stage of life, whether you’re a young family seeking a starter home, an empty-nester right-sizing your lifestyle or anyone else looking for a cost-effective way to own your own home.

How does buying a double-wide work, and what factors should double-wide buyers be aware of? In this article, we’ll discuss the key information that double wide manufactured home buyers need to know.

Double Wide Basics

A single wide manufactured home has a typical width of 18 feet or less. However, many homebuyers need more space, which is why double wide manufactured homes are a popular size option. The size of a double wide home can vary, but will typically have a width between 20 and 36 feet. The square footage of a double-wide can range anywhere from 800 square feet to over 2,000 square feet in larger models.

A double wide is manufactured in two sections, each approximately the size of a single wide manufactured home, that are designed to fit together. The sections are delivered separately and then bolted together during the setup process. The line at which the two homes are joined is called the marriage line, and it’s typically sealed with a durable gasket to keep it safe from moisture and dirt.

Why Buy a Double-Wide? 

There are many reasons why double wides have become a preferred housing solution for millions of homeowners, but most come down to getting more value for your money. Double wides are known for all of the following benefits:

• Provide substantially more space than single wide manufactured homes 
• Cost substantially less than site-built homes with comparable square footage 
• Offer a much greater variety of mobile home floor plans than single wides  
• Available all over the country 
• Often include more bedrooms and bathrooms than single wides 
• Give growing families the space they need 
• Come in a wide variety of sizes to suit a variety of homeowner needs 
• Often include desirable home features like fireplaces, bay windows, and skylights

A double wide is a big investment just like any home purchase, so make sure to keep these important factors in mind when selecting one:

• Decide first whether you want to buy a new or used double wide. Those looking for new mobile homes for sale should check MHVillage’s listings of mobile home floor plans near you.
• Go into the buying process with a firm idea of how much you’re able to spend.
• Get a professional appraisal and inspection on any used double wide you’re seriously considering. Ask the seller for appraisal and inspection records.
• Avoid jumping at the first option you see. It’s better to shop around and compare options to find a double wide that checks all the boxes.

Financing a Double Wide Mobile Home

Several options are typically available for financing the purchase of a double wide:

• If you’re buying a double wide on a permanent foundation on land that you will own, you may be able to obtain a traditional mortgage from a bank.
• You and your family may qualify for certain government loans, such as VA loans or USDA Rural Development loans, that can be used to finance a double-wide.
• Chattel mortgages are another type of financing that can be used to purchase a double-wide. These loans are used to purchase a home when the buyer intends to purchase only the home and pay rent on their lot.

If you’re purchasing a double-wide through a manufactured home dealer or through a manufactured home community, the dealer or agent will usually be able to recommend financing options.
