Over the past 20 years, the quality and appearance of manufactured homes have changed dramatically, giving them much greater appeal to home buyers. In fact, the manufactured housing industry has grown significantly over the past decade. Over 22 million people now live full-time in over 8 million manufactured homes. Eighty-eight percent of manufactured homeowners report satisfaction with the manufactured housing lifestyle.

Energy choice plays an important role in the marketing of manufactured homes. In a market of value-conscious buyers, propane is the ideal fuel for manufactured homes because it helps maintain both the affordability and the attractiveness of manufactured homes. It also presents the opportunity for manufacturers, housing retailers, and homeowners to reap significant capital and operating cost savings.
