mobile home
Transportable prefab dwelling
A mobile home is a prefabricated dwelling built in a factory and transported to a site, typically remaining in one location despite the name.
Mobile homes are usually placed in dedicated parks or on private land, connected to utilities, and rarely moved once installed.
The term often carries class associations, suggesting modest or lower-income housing: a mobile home park on the edge of town.
Manufactured home is the official industry term.
