Abstract
This study examines the extent to which the nationally recognized standard for the construction of mobile homes (i.e., ANSI Standard A119.1/NFPA 501B) has been adopted and amended by the individual States that have implemented enforcement programs for the regulation of mobile homes. Summary data is presented on the existing status of the various versions of the standard adopted in each State. State-adopted amendments to the technical requirements in the national standard are compiled by State and construction discipline for comparative analysis.
