The Okanagan is facing many issues, some local and some global, maybe by reconsidering our opinions on manufactured housing we may find some answers. Firstly let us establish our starting point. What do you think of when I bring up the subject of manufactured housing? Probably your initial and perhaps only image is of a trailer. In one respect you would be correct, but the industry would like to you to forget that name, it is out of date and no longer in use by the industry.
