Anyone see a Manufactured home that does "not" look like one?

I was in the mobile home (MH) tire and axle business a few years ago,
and I had the opportunity to see MHs being built in several different MH
manufacturing facilities. For sheer square footage of housing area, the
MH manufactures have the site-built builders beat. Building a MH in a
factory is much more efficient than building a site-built house on site.

I always considered the low-pitched (or sometimes curved) roofs to be a
serious liability both ecstatically and functionally. The lower the roof
pitch, the worse the roof gets rid of the rain.

Mobile homes, with some exceptions, are built to get under a 13'5" head
clearance on the road; thus, the low-pitched roof.

This is about as good as the pitch gets on a regular MH:

Continental MH in Colorado used to make a MH with a high-pitched roof,
but I don't find any evidence that the company still exists. One of
their products was a little double-wide that looked like a log cabin.

Tilt up roofs on modular homes:

Homes exported to Poland?

Unfortunately, my experience has been that MH companies don't represent
themselves well on the web. You might have to use the phone.

There are a lot of homes with cedar or log cabin style siding that also have
hinged roofs that extend up to 7/12 and homes that are called Cape Cod style
that have two story construction with a hinged roof it depends on where you
live
