He Bought A Clayton Home And Instantly Regretted It

David Revils bought a brand new Clayton manufactured home in 2023, hoping for an affordable housing solution. However, his experience with his Clayton manufactured home has turned into a nightmare. From water intrusion and cracks along seam lines to wiring issues, faulty switches, and leaks through vents when it rains, David's new home has been riddled with problems. Water even comes in through the windows and front door. Despite having a Clayton home warranty that should cover these defects, Clayton has been slow to respond and fix the issues with his affordable manufactured home. In this video, we explore the series of events that forced David to seek help from the state to address the problems with his Clayton manufactured home, so you can learn from his experience and make informed decisions about affordable housing options.

I’m a contractor, I used to work for Clayton doing warranty work. I remember having sympathy for the young families that I didn’t feel got treated fairly by Clayton.

Unfortunately, the same thing happened to me. They promised that all of the issues would be resolved before the home was delivered. Problems were immediate- zero caulking, faulty hardware, shoddy flooring, defective everything. My home is shifting and cracking; siding wasn't installed correctly. One contractor came out twice over the course of nearly a year until they ran the warranty out. This guy isn't lying. Buyer's Remorse is REAL!

Those salesmen are slick. I stopped by a dealer just to get prices and walked off the lot with a doublewide on order. When I had changed my mind, I saw in the contract that until I had delivery of the home I was able to get all my down payment back. They would only give me half back, so then I filed in small claims for the rest at which point they finally paid the remainder.

My home is solid brick built in 1936, with original hardwood floors, laundry shoot, working fireplace and all of the bells and whistles from that time period. We love this house.

When i saw the 20% interest rate on my quote, I said no. It was $900 a month for 30 years. I would have paid over $300k for a $59k loan. That was Vanderbilt Mort.

I had to quit working for Champion home builders because of the lack of quality that they were pushing on customers. It is disgusting what they are doing to people.

The State Attorney General needs to weigh in.

We bought a Clayton home not knowing about their business practices. We had some major issues that still r not taken care of. Lied to and deceived from the start. Wish I would have seen this video before we ever decided on getting our Clayton home. Bought our land and thought Clayton homes were the way to go. Boy were we wrong!!!

[TimeMachine]

I worked at Clayton for 6 months. My coworkers definitely deceived people. I was told to have more con in me. I refused. I still was leading in sales, but I quit because I was getting people who had longer cases and my manager was mad that I wasn't getting faster cases. I sold to people who knew what they were getting. I wasn't going to push people to get it. They want us to rush people into the fastest possible solution, regardless of how they'll feel afterwards.

I almost bought a Clayton, glad I didn't.

[evelynrogers]

Years ago Clayton was sued by a few owners . And had to pay them quite a bit of money

[jamesgullo]

We almost bought a Clayton mistake when we moved to Alabama.. Someone told us to investigate first, glad we did. Wound up with a quality home built in 1988, solid, well built. Couldnt be happier.

Consult an attorney about filing a lawsuit and call your Attorney General’s Office to get them involved and call your local TV station and give them some free TV interviews.

I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANY HOME FOR ANY REASON FROM CLAYTON!!

[AnnC....]

I knew a family that lived in a RV on their property, until they built there own house, people may consider being their own contractor and build their own house, Thank You Kristina and Thank You David

[SW-fmup]

I just wanted to say that I had 2 home inspectors that missed some very important and expensive repairs that had to be done several years ago. Also I had real estate attorney that missed the fine print on a contract!! That's why it's extremely important to do research and get recommendations from reviews that look authentic as well as people you know!!!

[MountainMan.]

A manufactured home sounds like it comes with the same headaches as buying an RV.

[tammiepulley]

You are providing a much needed service.

[rebeccadonet]

I have a local clayton dealer. I was curious, i went and looked at there trailers. I was shocked at there extremly low quility. Plastic sinks, plastic light fixtures, uncovered osb for cabnet shelving and paneling strips used for trim. They wanted over 90000 k. I couldnt believe what i was seeing. They are truely a disgusting company.

He should file a complaint with the state licensed board in his state.
