Do double wides have attics.

Recapped the vent got up the tools picked up the scrap and spent about 2 hours shooting the sh t with the h o. Manufactured houses do not usually have attic access because of the limited space between the ceiling and roof. The roof trusses create an enclosed space between the ceiling and the roof that can be defined as an attic. Box around them these stair systems varies from having a thin piece disappearing stairway installation may fit between existing framing in the insulator.

It looks like the seams have leaked a few times and that probably caused the staining. Interestingly most manufactured homes do not come with an attic access for new homeowners. As noted above this may not be the common practice for other housing types in many locations. Well yes and no.

I pulled the ridge caps cut back the shingles and installed the ridge vent over said gap. Most mobile homes do not have attic access. Ok just for the record a double wide this one anyway has about a 3 gap between the ribbon that the rafters are nailed to. Opening the ceiling to gain access is not a difficult process.

I suggested they have a membrane installed over the metal but i am open to better ideas. D i got my camera in there for a few shots. The attic area does have sufficient room for moderate storage or to access for the purpose of running wires and installing various ceiling fixtures. We just don t get to see the attic except when somebody s cut a hole in the ceiling.

This is due to the fact that most mobile homes have very little space between the ceiling and roofing so the manufacturers figure why bother with it.
