Not satisfied building one of the dumbest, most overpriced manufactured mobile homes on the market, the i-house, Clayton has decided that they needed to “improve” it by introducing the ultimate double wide version.

In an announcement from Clayton, they state that “Since we first launched i-house in May of 2008, thousands of
you have responded with thoughtful suggestions for improving the i-house for
the next generation. We heard you. Andy and Wes have implemented many of your
suggestions into the newest addition to the i-house family, i-house 2.0.”

Looking closer you soon realize that they didn’t say that they learned what customers wanted after they built a bunch of them. What they said was that they received thousands of suggestions for improving it.
I bet a lot of those came from lot managers and street dealers that had the original i-house jammed down their throats telling Andy and Wes what they could do with it. Never one to give up on a bad idea, the i-house 2.0 will soon be on its way to a street dealer near you.
The video of the concept i-house 2.0 below will have a lot of people drooling, especially FEMA who can use it for disaster housing.
Can’t wait.
BTW, if someone can’t afford the base price of $75,000 for the i-house single wide version, they can buy the Marlette Homes (a Clayton brand) i-house wannabe for about what a typical single wide trailer goes for today, not counting depreciation.
