single wide

Narrow manufactured dwelling

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 to its site.

The term distinguishes it from a double wide, which consists of two sections joined together.

Single wides are the most affordable manufactured housing option: They started out in a single wide on her parents' land.

The term sometimes carries class connotations, evoking rural poverty or trailer park living.
