Normally on a double wide only the exterior and marriage walls are load bearing. Each side of the marriage wall is built to go down the highway without support from the other side.

 

No pics showing, I think you have to have two posts to pic....

 

Yeah, it says I needed 1 post. Pictures are below.
Thank you.

 

 

From this picture, I would say that the wall running parallel to the ceiling joists (wall-B) was load bearing and supporting the two 2x6's which in turn support the roof. The wall perpendicular to the ceiling joists and 2.5' out (wall-A) was not load bearing.

I would put a 4x4 post (or two 2x4's) under the two 2x6's where wall-B was until you confirm from the manufacturer whether wall-B was load bearing.

Will be interesting to hear what the manufacturer says.

Who's the manufacturer.

Ask them.

 

unfortunately, I have no idea, and there are no tags. I have reviewed past deeds and mortgages, and found nothing. According to our local auditors site, it was built in 1974, and HUD's records do not seem to go back that far.
I guess I'm kind of hoping to find someone here who has seen or built with these kind of trusses.

 

one thing I forgot to explain, that may be important. The center beam, at the marriage line, to which the trusses attach, is made up of (4) 2x6's sandwiching (2) 5/8" or 3/4" plywood sheets.
Each side has 1 2x6 at the bottom, and 1 2x6 at the top, connected by 2' of the plywood, also there are vertical supports.
The fact that the plywood is present in the area that is open, but not present on the hallway wall (which IS on the marriage line), makes me think the area where is is present, would maybe be designed to be open?
I tried to draw an illustration.
I don't know if this beam has a bearing on you thoughts of weather these walls are load bearing or not.
I'm not digging for the answer I want, I just want to make sure I shared ALL the information.
Thank you guys, so much!

 

Take a full description as well as pictures to any manufacturer of mobile or modular homes and they should be able to tell you.

 

Hello I'm trying to figure out if this wall is load bearing or not. I will upload pictures in a following post. I've read that in single wide mobile homes there usually aren't any load bearing walls. This wall in particular was a T I removed the front portion which was not perpendicular to the floor joist. Although this portion of the wall was barely attatched and I was able to wiggle it quite a bit. This other portion of wall is perpendicular but I can also wiggle this wall at the top. This mobile home was built in the 70s so contacting manufacturers is highly unlikely. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Additionally this is the portion of the wall that runs perpendicular to the floor joist

 

I've never known of any interior load bearing walls in a single wide mobile home. You should be fine removing any interior wall.


There are many MH manufactures from the 70s that are still in business today.
