How long do park models built to HUD standards and Mobile Homes normally last 1 or 2 years? It seems that something else are wrong with these FEMA Units for them not to be used for more than once! If a manufacture builds a unit that last for an average of 10 years +, then what is it with the FEMA UNITS the people that stay in them or the way FEMA's Maintenance Contractors take care of them?

I think it is the Non-Trained Contractors!

FEMA should be investigated for these hair brain idea . They are dumping
park models (2010's) on the market now(Jan.2012) for pennies on the dollars .
They should be jailed .

Last week I read they were selling the used ones for $25.00 at auction and now they have to buy new ones. Here in FLorida most Manufactured Homes are in very good shape and were built in the 1980s. They all sell for much more than $25.00. One more example of the goverment spending. The same old attitude, "it's just goverment money who cares".
