Abstract

A manufactured house unit is provided which includes multiple separable sections which are matingly receivable to form a house at the erection site. One or more common structural members, such as the roof and/or an exterior wall, join these sections during manufacture to facilitate alignment of interior walls and features during final erection. This arrangement also facilitates transportation of the house to the dealer and/or erection site. Each section may be of different length and the towing hitch arrangement is disposed to facilitate installation of a patio or porch platform. Additional carriage elements are included under each section to enable separate transportation of each section after the common structural member is divided.
