I've owned and lived in both single and double wide manufactured housing (formerly called "mobile homes" and even more formerly called "house trailers" ). I don't know just what kind of "foundation" you are talking about. In the south, slab foundations are common for site built homes, but that's probably not what you have in the north. The manufactured homes are generally simply placed with no "foundation" other than concrete blocks set on the surface of the ground. The homes are built with metal straps to anchor them down to anchors that are screwed into the ground. But to place them on a concrete slab is much, much better. However, I'd recommend that you talk to someone experienced in "installing" or setting up manufactured homes in your area.
