We lived in a modular/manufactured home for 20 years and are renting it out now going on 10 years...
(it was put here 10 years before we bought it)..It's on a full basement, has a deck, an attached garage
and is on over an acre in an area of acre+ lots. It does not look like a trailer.

That sounds like my parents' home. When they retired they moved to a 30-acre property in a very rural area where it would have been difficult or costly to get skilled labor for homebuilding in. Their home was custom-designed and built in two sections in a factory and delivered by truck where it was installed on a full basement. It's a ranch-style house with standard wood-frame construction with good insulation and wood siding on the exterior, and large picture windows in the living room and dining room. It's a fairly modest house as befits empty-nester retirees, but it seemed to me to be better-constructed than the house where I grew up, which was built on site in the normal way but where it seemed the builder did everything in the cheapest possible way.
It's way past time that people learned the difference!
From someone who lives in a Mobile Home in an upscale community You are right somebody needs to learn. Google PotNets. A premier mobilehome community on Rehoboth Bay.
A couple of very experienced folks nailed the definitions. There are some very nice modulars, but I am of the opinion stick built is hard to beat. But that is just MY opinion. I think the OP needs to stop letting others' opinions or misconceptions influence how she feels. What is the quote? Be independent of the good opinion of others ~ Abraham Maslow.

I stayed at Pot Nets last summer. My husband's grandparents had a place there for a few years and now his Uncle does.

Really? Where did you get that information?
Mobile Homes are built every day, bought, delivered, set up and lived in.
They are not and never have been Modular Homes and have never been advertised as such.
Clayton Homes build mobile homes.
There are also Amish built mobile homes that are manufactured daily.
Same thing only different. Newer trailers are called Mobile homes.They have better insulation and windows. They also pulled out the frame and axles. Saving money.
Mobile homes seem to fall apart and after so many years they are hard to get loans for. Kind of shows how much they are worth.
Their affortability is where they excel.
