I spent almost 10 years growing up in a trailer, a 40x8 Pontiac and it was well built from my memory.
Before moving here I was a Home Inspector and inspected a fair number of the newer, manufactured homes. Pretty yes, when new and well kept, but with all that particle board a big disaster and not moisture friendly. I've actually stepped those the floor. I would say to work here, especially Puna, ALL particle board would need to replaced when manufactured with a good grade plywood just for starters. Likely even that change would make them too expensive. Ten years down the road, Puna could likely be the poster child for a whole new round of trailer jokes.
Basically, unless the manufacturing specs are significantly upgraded not a good idea.
