Mobile technology seems all the rage these days.  Smart Phones and Netbooks have made accessing the internet from anywhere into something we can’t seem to live without.  This new technology all relies on something called the 3G network.

Accessing the internet is about to get even smarter.  A recent announcement by Ericsson and Netgear, unleashes new broadband power that, just like your home, is mobile.

Their new device, called the MBRN3300, can travel with you and provide internet all the way.  This device provides internet access to remote places such as your weekend cabin, or can supply you with internet in mobile parks where no internet is readily available.

The mobile 3g router is a great addition to anyone interested in owning a mobile home.

We have updated the standard specifications for the Champion Crossings Collection Estate Series of Park Model homes.  Come take a look at these changes, or view our entire park models and mobile homes.

The standard specifications for the Champion Limited Series have been updated.

Also, the Spencer and Bryant mobile homes have been updated as well.  Please take a moment to view these new changes.

Another update has been added to our homefinder utility.  The display region has been cleaned up to present a nicer, easy-to-read, caption.  Information about a mobile home’s series and dimensions are added to the caption, which makes finding a mobile home even easier.

The homefinder Utility now comes equipped with a small search function.  You simply begin typing the name of the model in the search field, and the list of homes will update.

This provides a faster way for you to look for the home you want without having to sift through all the filter choices; provided you know the name of the model.

The search feature is not case sensitive; you can type either upper or lower case.

We are continually improving our websites and enhancing the user experience.  If you have a suggestion please e-mail webmaster@factoryexpohomes.com.

We’re ringing in the New Year with some updates to our color collections.

We’ve discontinued 2 linoleum samples that were part of the Wyndover, Juniper, and Sandrock Decor collections.  In place of that, we’ve added 4 new samples to our collection.  These are the Parma, Sydney (26 & 37), and Wild Cherry.  Those samples are viewable here.

There are updated carpet samples available as well.  The Wyndover Collection, Anchorage II, and the Textured Comfort Collection, can be viewed here.

Please check with a sales representative to confirm which collections are available for your mobile homes.

We made some updates last week to the homefinder utility.  The first thing to notice in the new version is that the large graphic was removed.  We noticed that users where having trouble finding how to filter their searches, so we decided to get rid of anything distracting and emphasize the filter menu bar.

Next, we decided to change the layout from 3 side-by-side panels to 2 side-by-side and 1 underneath spanning both columns.  The large display area allows for a clearer representation of each home and leaves us the opportunity to work on two things:  1. Creating larger floor plan graphics, and 2. Adding descriptive text to each home.

Other improvements have been made to the backend.  The functions are written better to make the system smaller and more flexible.  If you have any suggestions for improvements, please contact the web development staff in the corporate office.

We will be closed on Thursday and Friday (11/26 & 11/27), except by appointment, to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday.  We wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
