single-wide

Narrow manufactured housing

A single-wide is a mobile home or manufactured house built as one long, narrow unit, typically 14 to 18 feet wide and transported in a single piece.

The term distinguishes it from a double-wide, which consists of two sections joined together: They started out in a single-wide before building their house.

Single-wide sometimes carries connotations of modest or working-class living.
