Looking at mobile homes?
Mobiles —all facilities
double-wides are increasing. By
siting two single, compatible
units side by side, floor areas up
to 1440 square feet can be
achieved giving the mobile home
hspoaustiianig, parity with conventional
Fourteen foot wide units are
now being produced where
legislation permits their
movement on public roads,
Greater production of these units
can be expected as more
provinces and states provide
appropriate transport legislation.
Some manufacturers have
devloped proto-type sixteen foot
wide models.
The rate of production of mobile
homes increased slowly from the
nineteen thirties until the early
nineteen sixties. About 1960
manufacturers began using
assembly line techniques and
paid greater attention to the
functional design of the unit.
Improved production techniques
resulted in lower per square foot
cost.
These savings are n t ally
passed on to the consumer by
steady improvement of the
'product and thelinclusion'of basic
furnishings, furniture and ap-
pliances as a form of product
promotion,
. As the public image of mobile
home living improved and the
shortage of low cost housing
increased, demand for mobile
homes grew rapidly in the United
States. Acceptance in Canada has
been slower, partly because the
shortage of low cost housing has
not been as-severe in Canada as
in the U.S.
Dealers display mobile's
homes in a manner similar to
model homes of conventional
construction. Sales appeal is
generally directed at the
housewife and centres on the
attractiveness of the kitchen and
bathroom, evidence of easy
housekeeping, and the at-
tractiveness and quality of decor
Most mobile homes are sold
fully equipped and furnished. A
discount is allowed for items
which the customer does not want
included, Buyers are attracted by
the fact that they can obtain
reasonable, detached, fully
furnished accommodation with
an overall carrying charge
comparable to monthly
payments for an unfurnished
apartment of equal size.
The attraction of low main-
tenance and low initial cost and
\ simple purchasing procedures
usually overcomes any negative
attitudes caused by the similarity
of exterior cladding and design.
North America has a long
history of migrating populations,
and this influence has persisted
into modern times, in particular
that of the westward movement
of settlers and the seasonal
migration of harvest workers,
With the depression years of
the 1930's and their ac-
companying social migrations,
came the introduction of the
vehicular home or trailer and the
organized production of the first
structures which could be called
mobile homes.
These dnits were quite small,
poorly constructed and lacked
the amenities of today's large
and luxurious mobile homes.
Early unitslwere,generally parked
in poorly kept trailer camps and
were usually located on the
outskirts of towns and cities or in
non-residential urban areas,
Their use was frequently
associated with resource
development projects, con-
struction work, or as ac-
commodation for transient
workers. The inhabitants were
looked upon as migrants whose
contribution to the community
was small and of a temporary
nature.
Significant changes have taken
place in the structural quality of
the mobile home, and the type of
mobile home occupant, Unfor-
tunately the majority of mobile
home parks in Canada remain
small, and poorly designed.
These changes first became
apparent in California after the
Second World War, where
massive population growth
disrupted the conventional
housing industry, and many
people turned to the mobile home
as a source of accommodation. A
combination of fine sites, im-
proved construction, favourable
climate and an increasing
number of occupants with
relatively high incomes helped
create the improved image which
has slowly filtered eastwards
across the continent,
Mobile homes are being
manufactured in increasingly
larger sizes. In the mid-fifties 10
'foot wide units were introduced
and quickly superseded the 8 foot
wide, In the early nineteen sixties
12 foot wide units were becoming
common in lengths up to 65 feet,
and the most common unit today
is nominally 12' x 60' long.

Growth in

Basically, the mobile home
industry has developed in two
separate geographic areas of
Canada, Southern Ontario and
the Western provinces centering
on Alberta, where markets
continue to develop as a result of
increasing resource industry
developments,
Production has increased
rapidly in both countries since
1964. In that year 191,320 units
were manufactured in the United
States, while in Canada 2,152
were manufactured and 2,000
imported, By 1969 production
reached over 400,0000 units in the
United States while in Canada it
is estimated that over 12,000 were
produced and 3,000 imported.
In 1971 the figure for
manufactured single units rose to
13,788 and 1,231 double wides
were built. By 1972 single unit
production rose by another 5,000
and by 1973 the figure was up to
