[QUOTE="presmudjo, post: 1345924, member: 7149"] We bought our Redman double wide in 2001. We had relatively few issues with it after move in. We replaced all the shut off valves with brass fittings instead of the plastic type they had. One failed and we changed them all. The clips holding up the closet shelves were cheap and broke easily. I changed them out. The hot water heater was crap and we bought a new brand name one within 2 years. I don't find these issues too bad. This place has been through hurricanes Charlie, Frances, and Jean and only now do we need the new roof. It is only a 20 year roof to begin with. It is not leaking, but you can tell it is time. Part of roof cap was all we lost during Charlie along with siding on one end. We have no regrets we bought this home instead of going through a built house. We didn't upgrade the lights, etc because they only upgrade from cheap to a pretty looking cheap. We bought new light fixtures as we found ones we liked. We did upgrade the carpets amd padding and had the exterier doors a solid metal door instead if their cheap flimsy things. I am glad we only had one skylight, which I wish now we would have never done. It has been replaced. Champion homes bought out Redman shortly after we bought. Our home was bulit in Lakeland, Fl. I have heard that different building sites can give you different quality. The floors on this thing are not the cheap partical board either. Not easy to drill through for the tv antenna cord. We never went for a plant tour when we bought this, but we were encouraged to do so. If you can, I would go on the tour of your local company. We have our insurance through Florida Farm Bureau. I would check with local insurance companies to make sure you can get coverage. I have heard it is difficult in Florida now. If you are buying a new one, it was suggested we have lights in all the closets. We did have that done and it has been a real asset, especially the kitchen pantry.
