I have a cavalier home in a neighborhood developed by a now out of business mobile home seller in Dickson, TN. We ordered it new in 1998, it was delivered and set up in October.
Every house in this neighborhood was sold by this company.
Everyone I know in this neighborhood where I have lived for 11 years has experienced the woes of cavaliers defective, shoddy workmanship. Most painfully in the leaky plumbing that rots the cheap particleboard floor in hidden places that you don't discover until there is a crater. And your insurance company will not cover slow leak damage, only huge leak damage.
We have had 5 'secret' plumbing leaks due to defective pipes and exterior water leaking in from outside due to bad workmanship in the placement of doors and windows. When we first got our house the 2 sides did not line up! We have 2 doors that are very small because of this manufacturing defect.
A plumbing fixture exploded, it was then that we discovered it was PLASTIC painted with Chrome! A shower pipe rattled loosely and had to be secured. Another shower pipe leaked in the wall causing an enormous crater under the tub. Fortunately no one fell through before we found it. The roof trusses are 1" x 1". The walls which were supposed to be 2 x 4 are crappy 1 x 3 reject studs. We have replaces 3 walls, 4 sections of floor.
Kids this is what we call a drag away.
