National Survey of Mobile Home Owners
AARP's 1999 National Survey of Mobile Home Owners revealed that three out of four mobile home owners (77%) experience serious construction or other problems with their new homes, and nearly six in ten (57%) experience multiple problems. Only one in three (35%) of the most troublesome problems are successfully repaired under warranty, while six in ten (61%) are either not repaired at all, or are repaired at considerable expense to the home owner. These findings are based on a survey of 933 mobile home owners who purchased a new mobile home in the last eight years. The survey was sponsored by AARP and conducted by NFO Research, Inc. during May and June of 1999.
