: My advice to you on buying a Champion
: mobile home is: DON'T! Run the other
: way fast! I would list all the
: problems that we have had with our
: home but it would take several pages
: and I don't have that much time at
: the present. And I'm not talking a
: cheap home. We bought what we
: thought was our dream home. What we
: have is $80,000 worth of problems.
: It took a year for them to fix many
: of the problems we discovered on the
: initial walkthrough and so many of
: those were fixed in the same shoddy
: manner as the original work. The
: problem is the longer you live in the
: home, you constantly discover new
: problems. For example when we
: installed a microwave over the stove
: and took down the venthood over the
: stove, we discoverd it was vented
: into the wall. No outside vent, it
: was just blowing into the outside
: wall. The wiring is the worst. We
: can't even hang Christmas lights
: because it blows the breaker. I
: cannot run my hairdryer on high
: because anything extra like that
: blows a breaker. Also we kept losing
: shingles in the wind and then
: discovered that the shingles were
: just nailed onto the plywood, no tar
: paper underneath. Also, I weigh 130
: and when I walk on the roof I feel it
: giving under my weight. I could go on
: and on. As a matter of fact, I came
: across your inquiry while I was
: looking for a place to complain. So
: think carefully, please!

: Have been reading the info, both good
: and bad on Manufactured homes. Did
: not find any information on Champion
: Homes. Am looking to retire in the
: East Texas area in 2004. Champion is
: one of the manufacturers that I am
: looking at. Has anyone had any
: experience with a Champion?
:
: : Thanks Kat. Will keep that in mind. Just one question, where was your home built, in the East or West. C. W>
