Thanks, Paul
If memory serves me, a manufactured home has a life expectancy of only 25 years!
The barrier on the bottom of the twice wide is around 30 mil plastic ABS sheeting. All of the ones I have seen had holes in them after a few years.
Sounds like this twice wide is a candidate for someones deer camp!
