Manufactured Home Provider Category
Manufactured-home dealers and retailers in the project process
Dealer / Retailer describes businesses that sell manufactured homes and may coordinate some combination of ordering, options, delivery, setup, permits, foundation, utilities, financing, or warranty service.
