Manufactured homes usually use vinyl-on-gypsum (VOG) wall panels rather than standard drywall. Instead of using tape to cover the seams, as is done with drywall, the joints are covered with batten strips during assembly.

Skirting, windows, flooring, and plumbing are four of the most common mobile home repair issues for which homeowners frequently seek help or advice.

Walls are usually constructed on what is called a floor table. For exterior walls 2” x 6” studs are used and 2” x 4” studs for interior walls. All stud members are laid out in increments of 16” on center as a standard and then nailed in place.
