Where is the HUD label located on a manufactured home?

The HUD label, often referred to as the "data plate," is an important identifier on manufactured homes as it signifies compliance with federal standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This label serves as a certification that the home meets safety, durability, and performance standards.

The correct location of the HUD label is on the home section opposite the end of the tongue. This positioning ensures that the label is accessible for inspection and verification purposes, especially when the home is transported. It is also important for record-keeping and identifying the manufactured home’s compliance with the relevant building codes.

The other locations mentioned, such as the front door or inside a kitchen cabinet, do not provide the necessary visibility and accessibility for identification purposes. Similarly, while the area near the electrical panel is a common spot for other types of labels or indicators, it does not typically serve as the designated location for the HUD label. Understanding the correct placement of this label is crucial for compliance checks and for potential homeowners and dealers in ensuring the home adheres to all regulations.
