If your home is a double wide, it will have the same serial number but a letter at the end. In most states, the serial number and the VIN, or vehicle identification number will be the same thing. I get this question at least a few times every month.
Fortunately, Mcgarry and Madsen designed a handy image that explains each digit in a manufactured home serial number:. Buying a used mobile home is a pain in all honesty. Even cash sales are difficult. However, it will all be worth it in the end.
You will be able to live in a home you can afford without working 3 jobs to pay for! Long story short, there is no title to reference the VIN. What is that number? We purchased a modular home in , already on-site and previously occupied. Now we are trying to refinance and the new bank wants proof it is off frame, which it is, but there is no data plate anywhere in this house. What can I do? I purchased a double wide that has a data plate in the closet but the top half of it was damaged therefore I have no info as of the year of home.
There is a number stamped on the cross beam 22ACG. Can I get a new data plate with this info? What if they are not in business as has happened with our Lake House. It was purchased the year before Fleetwood went Bankrupt and Cavco has no info. I found the data plate in the back with 3 letters And 6 numbers. Where can I go to look it up without costing me anything?
And what exactly does the letters and numbers represent. Please help. The home they applied to me had a service work order to be done, as early as 8-May I like to know how I can find the date the 2nd half was built. All the inspection dates listed in the Ritz-Craft, book they gave to us, was inspected the last date was How can i get help in this matter. The help I really need would like some one to tell me what to do with this matter.
I contacted everybody including HUD.? We were supposed to make settlement on a skyline manufactured home. They cannot find the tag anywhere. We were told we would have to pay a 3rd party to got to HUD. Is there any other way? Can anyone give me any ideas how to sell a completely remodeled gutted mobile home made before Selling a model double wide..
Home has been completely remodeled.. I do however know the serial number.. Dont know the manufacturer name either.. Realtor says bank wants vin number…Have been all over home searching for vin. Maybe try a search at the DMV. Going thru the same thing. Ours is gutted and remodeled. Any help you can give us? I am trying to locate the vin number…. I would like to get a replacement manufactured home data sheet for my records, I have the plate that outside of my house.
Where can I get a new one? Thank you. Uniform Dwelling Code home with the illegally applied Inspection labels were they should be. The problem is we were never issued A Certificate of Occupancy. We were bullied into a settlement that grossly benefited the bank, versus us being kicked to the curb literally!!!! WTF is wrong with this whole modular home scam!!!! However, a modular home is not a manufactured home — completely different rules apply to modular homes such as they must pass local inspections whereas manufactured homes do not except electrical and plumbing but not structurally.
The entire banking system is rigged to help the banks and not the consumer. We purchased a mobile home at a foreclosure auction a few years ago and are in the process of selling it now.
We are in escrow and cannot move forward. Any idea how to go about this? Thank you in advance. These kinds of issues are one of the worst for mobile homeowners.
The red tape is insane when something is missing. This is the reason a lot of properties have to be purchased through personal loans or conventional loans — HUD, FHA, and the USDA are sticklers when it comes to tags, plates, and titles. Contact your state agency that handles mobile homes and see if they have a form that would be acceptable to IBTS.
Your location will play a huge role in this situation but the fact that you have data plates for the home should account for something. Best of luck! Hey so I purchased land an doublewide but apparently when trying to sell the home …they need titles retired for home …there not retired titles in a previous owner who was buying from the guy i bought from..
So lawyer said call cops get vin replacement an than start process to retire it… my question now is. Is it gonna take a while to retire it? What are the steps? At that point can I sell it an someone get a loan? I do have HUD plates on each side. The second, which is what I think is happening, could just be retirement and reinstatement with a fresh title using VIN numbers provided by a third party gov, cops, etc. They may require you to go through IBTS too. I began purchasing a mobile home in , that was an owner carry contract, the contract reads title will transfer when contract is finished.
I paid it off 6 months ago, but have had a terrible time acquiring the title from the seller. We finally got an attorney and are demading the title. My husband and i wanted to be certain the title matches the trailer when we finally get it…. Its on what is suppose to be a Kingsbrook, but it could be a Kingswood.
The trailer was completely gutted before i purchased it, all cabinets are long gone, as well as closets, and any other fixture that was originally in the home. It has Hud plates still intact on both sides.
Can the trailer receive a new serial number? Those are required if you ever want to sell the home and the buyer needs financing.
In many states, they can reissue an identification number or they will just put unknown in the box for the serial number. As far as the title goes, could you maybe put a lien on it? A lost title is usually no problem at all. In WV, the seller would just need to go to the DMV and apply for a lost title and then once that was received the seller would sign it over to you.
I own a Craftsman double-wide manufactured home. It was converted to real estate in The entire property was remodeled, the roof was raised, it was brick underpinned, new siding, and two additional rooms were added on. I am now trying to refinance and the bank is giving me the run around. The data plates and certificate of compliance are long gone. Nobody every told me my life would depend on them down the road.
I know what the numbers were on the data plates because they are stated on a previous appraisal. I also know the serial numbers and model number. The bank says they must put their eyes on these numbers for themselves. Do you know if there are any lending agencies that would refinance without the physical data plates and compliance certificate?
Each state seems to do things differently. Sort of. Generally speaking, most lenders would like a physical inspection to verify the accuracy of the information. That being said, what they are requesting is unnecessary. If the mobile home has been affixed and de-titled, it is considered a permanent fixture to the land and transfers with the land via legal description.
Depending on your state, the requirements may differ. More often than not, that is sufficient. Regardless, at the end of the day, if the mobile home has been properly affixed, the lender should not be giving you such a hard time.
My son is having a horrible time selling his home. The township took the prior owners to court and a judge deemed it as a permanent fixtured and can be taxed as a regular property. The bank he has now when he went for a home equity loan demanded he applied for a lost title so he did.
That satisfied them and they gave him a loan. Now he is trying to sell the home and every other bank including an FHA lender is requiring the original serial number. Now it is a hot mess. Any solutions — we live in the state of Michigan. No one ever alerted him that this would be an issue. He pays property taxes on his old home. The whole titling method for mobile homes is a mess.
Here is their website. Very informative article, and I so wish that I had seen this 5 months ago when we were painting. I have no idea what to do. How would I go about finding the HUD number so that the potential buyers can get financing?

The data plate is located on the inside of the home. The VIN may be on the tow bar or on the front end of the metal frame. If you do not find the VIN at the front end, check the frame at the opposite end of the mobile home. Expose the rear-end frame of the mobile home.
