Chuck, there's always exceptions to every rule. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I'm living in a 1997 Fleetwood product now myself. And I guess you know that mobile homes are built to different standards for different areas, and of course, sometimes folks get away with doing things that really are not recommended. On a wall in the closet in the master bedroom, there is a sticker that shows what "wind zone" this house was built for and also shows the roof weight loading it was built for. I think, but don't know for sure, that the other manufacturers have the same information somewhere, if the owner has not removed it. Last year, my daughter got several estimates before having her double wide (a different brand) re-roofed and they all told her it had to be stripped instead of adding a second layer. The lady who owned this home had a son and two teenage grandsons who were going to re-roof it for her. So they bought a better grade of shingle than the originals, rented a trailer to haul off the old material, and got up there and stripped it. And since it was right in the hottest part of the summer, they learned how big that job is, and went next door where the crew was re-roofing my daughter's house and hired the professionals to put the new roof on this one. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I only sat in the shade and watched. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
