Here's the situation. We bought a new double wide mobile home in Florida (Skyline). The maximum size allowed in our RV park is 24 x 38. The order said 23.5 x 38 and when we questioned why it was 1/2 short, we were told it was because once they put the siding on, it would be 24 x 38. The home was installed, tied down etc on a lot we own in the RV park. We were not there when this was being done. When we got there the home measured (with siding) 23 x 38. We questioned why we had lost a full foot (38 sq feet in total) and we were told that they are not allowed to transport anything wider than 12' including the roof overhang. Is this true? Are all double wides short one foot because of transportation reasons. I just don't know if I'm being sold an incorrect story because someone screwed up and made our house 1 foot short. On a vacation home that size, loosing 38 sq feet (1' x 38') really is a fair amount to lose. I tried to find out where the licenses to transport are purchased so I could ask them directly but I can't seem to find that information. Thanks for your help.
