Well, maybe it was the only way to go about it, but I got stuck behind a couple of mobile home movers yesterday with no real way out of the road I was on short of having to drive though the woods, a couple of creeks and across a few pastures, so I just had to sit and watch. It seems somebody had ordered a 32x80 doublewide. Problem was, they lived on a 1 lane skinny road. Well, they got this behemoth in there, but they couldn't make a turn. They would jack it up and block up the axles till they got it a foot or so off the ground. They they had a chain hooked from the hindend of it to a ton truck. The little ton truck took an runnin start and yanked it sideways off the blocks scooting it over again. Of course, they needed to slide it around about 18 feet, so they had to repeat the proceedure about 25 times with each section.
Talk about killing a good 2 hours of my time waiting on this deal.
The thing is, given how they were handling this home, I'm not sure if I would have wanted it by the time it got there. The fun part was when they got it high centered and hooked a dozer to the toter and drug the whole works across. Of course they were doing this on a blacktoped county road.
I think there ought to be a length and width limit on these things. 16x80 sections are too darn big to be attempted to pull into most places.
