weight-bearing walls of 1996 Fleetwood Mobile Home

Posted by chelleviii (My Page) on

I have a 3- bedroom 2 bathroom 1996 Fleetwood Mobile Home. I am thinking of removing the common wall between the living room and 2nd bedroom. Is this wall a weight- bearing wall, or will it be ok to expand the living room into the 2nd bedroom area? I appreciate any assistance.

I don't think any of the interior walls of a single wide MH are load bearing, that's how they get by with using 1x4 studs.
Your only problem may be if you have vaulted ceilings in the living room, but flat ceilings in the bedroom. You will end up with a half vaulted-half flat living room ceiling.
