An Introduction To Manufactured Home Data Plate

Manufactured homes are a popular form of housing. These homes are built in factories and transported to their final locations. The manufactured homes have a data plate attached to them that has important information about the home. If you're buying a manufactured home or planning on renting one, it's important that you know what this data plate tells you about your new home.

What Is a Manufactured Home Data Plate?

"What is a manufactured home data plate?" you may ask. The metal tag attached to your property's frame is required by law in many jurisdictions and contains important information about the home, such as its model year, size, and manufacturer.

The data plate must be visible from the outside of your home so that it can be checked for accuracy at any time by code officials or other regulatory agencies.

The exact location of the data plate varies depending on whether you own an older model that was originally built before these laws were put into place or a newer one that has been updated since then (and therefore includes certain requirements). However, in most cases, it should be located somewhere on an exterior wall near either side door when entering through those doors; otherwise, it may be inside near those same doors facing outward toward any visitors who enter through them.

The data plate should provide you with the following information:

• The materials that make up your manufactured home.
• The date when it was built and who built it (if you know).
• How much it weighs, including any options installed at the factory that may have added weight.

Who Needs a Manufactured Home Data Plate?

The Manufactured Home Data Plate is a must for any manufactured home owner, dealer, builder, or inspector. It provides important information about the model and the serial number of your trailer.

In addition to identifying the make and model of your trailer, this plate can also help you determine if there are any outstanding recalls on your unit. This can save you from potentially dangerous situations—and even save lives!

Also, knowing what type of materials were used during manufacture can help homeowners determine if they need any repairs or maintenance work done on their residences due to potential damage caused by these components over time.

One thing to remember about manufactured homes: They're made at different factories and often transported long distances before reaching their final destination. Some states require that all new manufactured homes be inspected before being placed on site, so check with local authorities or agencies if you need clarification on what rules apply where you live!

How to Get a Manufactured Home Data Plate

You can get a manufactured home data plate from the manufacturer of your home in compliance with state and federal regulations. If you want a copy of your home's data plate, be sure to contact the manufacturer first. In addition to helping you find out where your information is likely located, they may also be able to verify whether or not the information on their records matches yours.

If there's no record of who built your manufactured house or if it was bought used (though this is rare), then contacting a certified inspector might also be an option worth considering.
