Are A Mobile Home’S Inside Walls Load Borne?

The text explains that manufactured home homeowners should leave their home’s marriage lines alone, as tampering with or making thoughtless modifications on a marriage line in a double-wide can create roof leaks and weaken the structural integrity of the home. Load-bearing walls are designed to be much stronger than non-load-bearing walls and are built with two by fours, which is much larger than what would be used for the regular mobile home.

In single-wide mobile homes, there are very few load-bearing walls, so it is generally safe to remove your closet. However, newer homes have a different truss shape but still only bear on the long walls, so you can remove any interior walls without fear of having a structural issue.

The text also discusses the importance of considering load-bearing walls in mobile homes. Single wide mobile homes do not have load-bearing interior walls, but double wides do. Most mobile home roofs and side frames are interwoven systems, and most mobile homes have a different truss shape but still only bear on the long walls.

The research has shown that only the exterior walls and the marriage line of the home are load-bearing. There is no attic and the ceilings angle up. When the wall is load-bearing, you must redirect the load to other walls or columns by using a load-bearing wall.

In conclusion, while single-wide mobile homes may not have load-bearing interior walls, larger models do. It all depends on whether the wall is load-bearing or not. Before tearing down a wall, it is essential to consider the specifics of the home and the specific needs of the homeowner.
