Book excerpt: "This paper seeks to better understand the mobile/manufactured home and informal housing in the United States through an investigation of a specific mobile home phenomenon: that of the mobile home extension and addition. Drawing on evidence obtained from a study of mobile home parks located in the greater Knoxville, Tennessee area, an analysis of the relationship between the presence of mobile home extensions and specific mobile home park characteristics is performed; additionally, primary motivations for the construction of such mobile home extensions are identified. Ultimately, this study finds that mobile home extensions are more likely to occur in mobile home parks located in unincorporated areas outside of the incorporated City of Knoxville. This paper suggests that, in specific contexts, mobile home extensions can be manifestations of both incremental development and informality in the United States." -- Page [3].
